I just recently upgraded Ubuntu from 9.04 -> 10.10
<br>
<br>
I tested all my Linux audio apps on Ubuntu 10.10
<br>
(my config is in the sig at the end of this email)
<br>
and every one checked out OK
except for baudline <br>
which wasn't working with ALSA
<br>
<br>
the reason it isn't working with ALSA - as related to me by the
developer - was that
<br>
'Ubuntu 10.10 removed kernel ALSA OSS emulation' but baudline does
work with Jack'<br>
<br>
the kernel I'm using was compiled by Ubuntu <br>
Linux 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 01:41:57 UTC 2010
<br>
and I had to do the 'which kernel works with the broadcom wifi
driver' dance which is why I'm using this particular kernel<br>
<br>
<br>
as I read more about this issue I see more clearly the lack of
thinking behind this decision
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
so I have some questions to other Ubuntu 10.10 users out there:<br>
<br>
- why was the ALSA OSS emulation layer removed?<br>
<br>
- why is there no general mixer for all the different volumes any
longer?<br>
<br>
- and is there an app that replaces the old Volume control that
allows you to adjust settings on all the different audio services?<br>
<br>
- is there a 2.6.xx.x kernel that has the ALSA OSS emulation layer
compiled in? <br>
(I'll need a range of kernels so I can test/select one that
works with my Broadcom wifi driver.)<br>
- if so, where can I find it?<br>
<br>
anyone have any advice, stories, tips, tricks or suggestions? <br>
<br>
any/all help is appreciated + happy new year!<br>
