I am subscribed to the digest but
don't mind CC's.
As a summary I have ogle successfully playing video but not sound on my
woody system using the 2.4.18 bf2.4 kernel. es1371 is the module that
goes with my sound card at 0x10. vlc plays video but not as well. noatun
or KDE media player finds the files but 'doesn't know what to do' with
them. Following the advice of the FAQ on the ogle website I use 'artsdsp
ogle' to start ogle in a Konsole under KDE. I also googled and found a
question about ogle to the list a year ago. Following that advice my user
account is in the audio group. The ogle-gui seems to show AC3 English as
a sound stream.
Just for the curious, the dvd that I'm using to test the setup is
The Incredibles! %-} If my dvd player under Windows 98SE would stop
crashing, I could even enjoy it!

I was up last night trying to install a bunch of ALSA stuff.
Since I'm at work, I'll have to wait to install yours that I'm still
missing. I couldn't get alsaconf to find an ALSA driver for es1371 which
appears to be Ensoniq 1371 (rev 97), IIRC. And it shows up in my lsmod
list! I guess I might need the OSS wrapper package that you have. I
nearly reinstalled another kernel trying to get some package named
alsadrivers. I think that was meant for people compiling alsa modules
into a custom kernel so I might want to stay away from that approach! Well
actually I do have 2.4.16 686 image in addition to the bf2.4 kernel that
works. The 2.4.16 kernel panics because the initrd is probably not set up
for it (vfs can't mount root on 21.41? Duh! ); however, that's a wild
goose chase for this question.
Presently, I can use ogle (0.8.2 in the woody package) to play
'silent movies!'
lspci gives

I'm mystified. The system bell works in KDE but no sound from the other stuff. amixer claims there is no ALSA driver?
And sndconfig doesn't seem able to reach the es1371 either; yet I have an es1371 module.
