Hello, I'm trying to use the Debian ALSA packages without success at all. I have two different servers with different sound cards and the problem is basically the same: "/etc/init.d/alsa start" does nothing but saying "alsa driver installed" which is not true. In fact, as soon as I try to run a sound application I get the error "/dev/audio: no such file or directory", even though /dev/audio is a valid file in the system.
I'm following the instructions under <working-dir>/modules/debian from the alsa sources and trying to install the thing for AW64, CS4636. Any experience with this problem out there? -- Pedro
