I understand that the modularized sound drivers are now standard on Linux 2.0.32 and above. Given that, I think it would be good if we had a setup utility for sound, like the one provided with OSS/Linux.
Redhat have a sndconfig to go with the modularization patches (which they sponsored according to their web site). The latest sources were only in RPM format, the tar.gz was old, but I managed to battle with rpm long enough to extract them. (Conspiracy theories anyone?) Anyway it seems that sndconfig just probes for PnP cards with isapnptools' pnpdump and configures them, and only supports SB cards anyway. It'd be nice to have (I may work on a package(*)) but it isn't exactly what I want. Does anyone know of anything like this somebody is working on, or are there people interested in working on it? (*) Their manual page says that sndconfig configures sound on the Red Hat Linux system. Is it ok to change this if the software is GPL? Otherwise it would look strange. hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
