The busybox LZMA fix works on 64-bit. The tc-config patch works on 32-bit. I haven't tested them the other way yet.

hi TinyCore Team,

With  v8.1rc3 I did not get alsa nor oss sound to work.
The last version with working sound was tc v7.2 (oss)

Tested a lot of other extensions, they all are working fine.

greetings

Hmm - 'not sure if that's more likely due to alsa/oss/hardware
