the other weird thing is i have nothing in /dev/sound except
/dev/sound/sequencer and /dev/sound/sequencer2....
mdk should have created /dev/sound from my modules.conf yes?...
i dont actually have a device called /dev/sound..... just a directory
with the two sequencers:
[root@hamish alsa-driver-0.9.0rc5]# ls -l /dev/soun*
total 0
crw------- 1 miriam audio 14, 1 Jan 1 1970 sequencer
crw------- 1 miriam audio 14, 8 Jan 1 1970 sequencer2

crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Dec 16 13:09 /dev/dsp0

ok so what does ls -l /dev/dsp0 show you?
/dev/dsp should point at
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Dec 16 08:02 /dev/dsp ->
sound/dsp
you can do this manually for testing. Just rm -rf /dev/dsp, then
ln -s /dev/sound/dsp /dev/dsp. Does that work?

weird.... very weird.... apps are still
complaining of no soundcard,
but this is output of ls -l /dev/dsp:
[root@hamish alsa-driver-0.9.0rc5]# ls -l /dev/dsp
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Dec 16 13:09 /dev/dsp ->
/dev/dsp0
alias entries are still there in modules.conf too....
one thing i didnt do last night (because the soundcard got running
without it) was uninstall the mandrake alsa rpms... i might do
that... after all rc5 source should have everything i need there...
it might be confusing the files....
thankx

modules.conf, or did mandrake rebuild it for you?
