Hi Debian!
I spoke to soon, saying that the migration to alsa was a piece of cake.
I have all sound, but no cd audio. I did have that with oss.
The cd slider does not show up in aumix nor alsamixer.
I googled for a clue.
libcdaudio is installed of course.
Anybody give me a hint?
To install alsa: 1. I enabled alsa and the card in the kernel but without modules. 2. I installed alsa-base.
That gave me sound. I forgot to test the cd, until today.
1. Do you have the Redbook Audio Cable installed from said CDROM device to said Sound card CD-IN input? 2. If not, did you remove it during the installation of alsa (wink wink... joking here, unless you did remove it) 3. Have you tried Digital Audio Extraction, this is what "ripping" a CD does. I know XMMS and Rhythmbox (only music stuff I use) does both. 4. Make sure you have "unmuted" the CD-Audio.
The problem is the CD-Audio slider is not present, like I said in my post. Not in alsamixer nor in aumix. In aumix it was present when I ran OSS. So the cable, etc. is like it was with OSS a week ago.
I found a post in Spanish: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&threadm=3d8798f4_3%40news.arrakis.es&rnum=18&prev=/groups%3Fas_q%3Dalsa%2520cdaudio%26safe%3Dimages%26as_scoring%3Dd%26lr%3D%26num%3D100%26hl%3Den
that describes it and the guy went back to OSS. I won't. The answer is someplace. It isn't a bug because nobody talks about it.
Somehow Alsa has decided there is no cdaudio to be had. I see no kernel config parms pointing to it. Don't tell me I have to find their mailing list to find out :-(
