Need direction on alsa/oss sound.
I'm running Debian Unstable and am very confused about how to set up the
sound properly. Sound generally works, but it seems a mess with OSS
this and ALSA that and esd and arts and so on. When I pull up the gnome
mixer, it has an oss tab and an alsa tab. Do I need both? Both of them
change the system's sound.
On a seperate note, I tried to record from microphone to a wave file
using the rec program. After fiddling with the mixer, I was able to
record, but there was always background noise on playback even though I
didn't hear the noise through my headphones while recording. I got
frustrated and quit (for now).
I'm generally confused about sound on linux oss/alsa/esd/arts... Can
someone recommend a good source to help me understand it better? Thanks.
Randall
