[linux-audio-user] at my wits end

[iriXx]

i dont quite know how to do this any more.. getting to wits end

still going with usb audio stuff
have tried with and without the devfs stuff in modules.conf
have tried with alsa tarballs and without them
have tried instructions as per kevin's site
nothing seems to be working: xmms says this:

[root at hamish miriam]#
** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): No 
such device

similiar results for alsaplayer

please help! i'm at my wits end! ;-)
cant explain why it would work 2 days ago and wont work now

i've tried repeating everything i did then (which was just to make sure 
mandrake libalsa2-devel and libalsa-data rpms were installed and then 
clean out modules and install again from tarballs. it worked, i dont 
know how it worked but it did).

the only thing i can think of is those weird warning messages i got when 
building alsa-driver, it was something about the records in 
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/ saying that this was the same 
location i have used before

does anyone know what this means? or how i should proceed?

thanks
m~
