Re: Problem between OSS and ALSA in sid

[Manu <seatmanu@yahoo.com>]

Well, I had no response yet.. So I have tested the
ubuntu and I don t understand why , but in Ubuuntu I
have the choice between ALSA and OSS.

so what  am I missing? I use the same options in the
modutils? could it be a kernel Issue?
