Hallo,
just a short information question: Is it true, that Redhat does not
provide any ALSA packages themselves so people who want to run some of
the many ALSA applications on Redhat will have to use third-party
rpm's like Fernando's or from freshrpms.net? Is this really true? If
yes, does someone know what RH's plans are regarding ALSA on kernel
2.6?
ciao

I am on Red Hat 9. When I installed Red Hat 9 on my PC, it recognized
the sound card. The sound card was working fine. RH9 does not include
ALSA packages.
I installed later the ALSA sound drivers and utilites.
I am usinf artsd as sound server, but sometimes whne I run Mozilla, it
will force esd to start as sound server if artsd has terminated.

the 2.5 kernels have ALSA already built in...

plans Redhat, the only ALSA-less distribution I know, will decide to
use.

I found some information on new kernel development at Red Hat.
Please visit http://fedora.redhat.com/ for more information.

Thanks for this pointer. On http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/package-list/
I didn't find anything alsa-related (like libasound or alsa-utils).

yes
But freshrpms.net works pretty damn well, and PlanetCCRMA all the same,
and the installation process is very simple.

Recent discussions on the Red Hat development forums have pointed out
that, since 2.6 will certainly include ALSA, then that functionality
will automagically appear in RH once the kernel version will be bumped
up. Which it only makes sense, if you think of it.
That being said, i've been a happy user of the Freshrpms.net packages
for a long time. If Fedora doesn't do anything about it, and if Matthias
or someone else doesn't step up as the ALSA maintained for Fedora, then
i'll do it (as well as for Xine, transcode, dvdauthor and other things
i'm using on a daily basis).

Well, I think it would have been an advantage for RH if ALSA had been
included as an option prior to 2.6. ALSA is not only the kernel
modules, instead libasound and the alsa-utils are an integral part in
getting an ALSA based system to work. As a distributor Redhat sooner
or later will have to (or want to) provide configuration tools that
fit into their own system. Redhat cannot get away with just compiling
another set of sound modules. ALSA apps are needed as well as another
documentation.
All these things can be quite tricky, if you leave the
linux-audio-user|dev and try to reach the wider target audience of a
general distribution like Redhat or Suse.
But I'm glad to hear that Redhat will probably go ALSA with 2.6 (I
feard that the would still have gone the OSS path). I'm confident,
that this will be quite a push for ALSA support in applications.

Thanks for that information. I also found and recommended to try the
packages from freshrpms. Glad that they do indeed work (couldn't
really test them myself, as I use Debian).
