Hello,
Let me point out in advance that my problem is pretty trivial compared to
most of the postings on that list. If a journey in sound engineering on
Linux is 1000 steps, I'm at step 1 here. I basically tried configuring sound
into the kernel but it didn't seem to work. If you think you can help,
please read on. Otherwise, stop here.
And thanks to all who continue from here...
I want to build sound support into my embedded Linux platform (2.6.28); the
CPU supports I2S in silicon, but I haven't got a driver for that yet. My
plan is to build the kernel with SOUND/SND configurations enabled and start
working on the driver later. In my configurations, I've left all the sound
card-specific options out, keeping just the CONFIG_SND_SOC. I thought it
would be sufficient to install snd-dummy so that any cross-compiled audio
applications could be fooled into working. l rebuilt the kernel after *make
clean* and noted several new SND files being compiled. So far so good. The
final zImage was only a little larger. Overall, the configuration and build
seemed to be going through all the right motions, but when I loaded zImage
onto the target I didn't see any bootup logging that suggested audio was now
working. As an experiment, I tried to insmod snd_dummy.ko but got a long
list of errors. I guess I'm missing something basic.
Here's my configuration choices:
CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE=y
CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM=m
# CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER is not set

And here is the list of errors from installing snd-dummy.ko
[root@127 drivers]#insmod snd-dummy.ko
