An application should not fail just because there is a not-used package installed; it should do the proper checks, and use the available resources. Even more, I configured alsa, ran xmms, and configured it to use the OSS output plugin instead of alsa, and guess what happened when I reconfigured OSS and re-ran xmms? Yep! It tried to access the alsa devices and failed! Would somebody please fix this before the release? -- Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
