Installing ALSA (alsa-base and alsa-utils) broke the sound on Debian too. I did it because MPD sounded like the sound was played from within a tin can, or something. XMMS is clipping on OSS and ALSA. Before installing ALSA, only OSS was working, but it wasn't clipping.

I guess not, not after I found out it didn't work in Debian either. I've tried Knoppix too, which was also clipping the sound. > If you enabled the OSS mixer API in the kernel -- could an > OSS-mixer-application control the hardware, then? I'm sorry, but I don't know what you are talking about. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
