Re: [LUG] OSS

Thanks, Kai. I agree with that. I had a fight with ALSA a while ago
which I lost, which is why I have been using OSS.

Thanks, Keith. I have removed OSS, installed ALSA, found a driver (cmipci),
done modprobe snd-cmipci, adjusted mute in alsamixer and I can now aplay
a wav file. As before that is about the only thing I can do. No sound from
CD, none from a .wmv file via movie player, nothing from the internet. In 
other words I am no further forward. I suspect that there is some component
of linux audio that is not working and that does not depend on which sound
system I have, ALSA or OSS.
