alsa issues
curaga:
jpeters, is it only skype and not your sound card, that you needed alsa for?
'cause I just took a look at Skype download page, and they have an OSS-enabled binary there available for download ( http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/ )
Jason W:
alsa-oss was probably not needed even with the original alsa extension as creating the device nodes and inserting snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss is surely what gave it sound. I will pull the exetension upon the upload of the newer alsa that takes care of the devices and modules. Hopefully the rebuilt alsa and alsa_modules can be made PPI and TCZ compatible as the icing on the cake.

I used the static version from the Skype site you posted. It required alsa, qt4 and support libs in order to work. Skype worked fine without alsa-libs and alsa-oss, but xmms
wouldn't, which prompted the thread. They may have updated the version to work with OSS, I'll try and see if it works.
Edit: I see they have posted two static versions, one for alsa and one for skype. The OSS version may have just been posted...or else I missed it...
--- Quote from: Juanito ---Are you sure alsa-oss is required (it looks like some kind of compaitibility kludge for very old stuff to work)? BTW, soundcard.h from the 2.6.26 kernel might be more appropriate for compiling alsa-oss...
After recompiling alsa-drivers-1.0.17 (I chose this because this is what's included in the 2.6.26 kernel tree) to enable oss and without compiling alsa-oss-1.0.17, this enabled me to play mp3s with xmms:
Code:
$ sudo mknod /dev/dsp c 14 3
$ sudo mknod /dev/mixer c 14 3
$ sudo alsaconf
$ sudo modprobe snd-pcm-oss
$ sudo modprobe snd-seq-oss
$ sudo udevtrigger --subsystem-match=sound

I tried all the listed commands before recompiling alsa-oss with the un-adapted soundcard.h, and xmms failed to play.

Somewhat curiously the OSS version requires an alsa lib. No QT4 libs in sight, but several Xorg libs instead.
jpeters:
I submitted the support libs, but Jason requested documentation before I can post it. I'm looking for it, although I think I had to collect it from a variety of RPM archives. BTW, the OSS version is recent, and it works without alsa. They must have just posted it, because the version I downloaded required alsa. I'll see if I can find documentation for the support libs and post it today.
