Not really sure, it just worked in Debian ;-) But you might look at the
/etc/modules.conf file for something like
# Soundcard
alias /dev/sound sound-slot-0
alias /dev/audio /dev/sound
alias /dev/mixer /dev/sound
alias /dev/dsp /dev/sound
alias /dev/dspW /dev/sound
alias /dev/midi /dev/sound
maybe someone else on the list has more of an idea how this works,
specifically?

ahhh yes, that would be the problem... mandrake does
use devfs....
[root@hamish miriam]# cat /dev/dsp
cat: /dev/dsp: No such device
can you let me know how i should tweak the alsa dev files for devfs?
thankx

Did you know that if you took all the economists in the world and lined
them up end to end, they'd still point in the wrong direction?
I have never run mandrake, so I dont know
anything about it. But is it
possible they started using devfs with the latest version? If so you
might need to adjust it to create the Alsa dev files. Do the dev files
exist? Can you do "cat /dev/dsp"?

hi... hmm... well i've done ./snddevices now
and still no luck :-(
not really sure why this is happening now....
i started up, ran ./snddevices, modprobe snd-usb-audio, snd-pcm-oss,
snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-oss all works fine....
but....
ogle and Xine still crash when i run them, saying unable to open alsa...
xmms complains there is no sound card....
this is a fresh install of alsa 0.9.rc5 under mandrake 9.0 - it was
running fine under mandrake 8.2, all i've done is upgrade to mdk 9.0 and
recompile & reinstall...
any ideas?... i'm kinda stuck now, i've done everything right, got an
.asoundrc as per the instructions for usb audio... the weirdest thing
was that it all ran absolutely fine until i upgraded mandrake....
thanx heaps

Did you do a ./snddevices in the Alsa drivers
dir?
