Hi list,
I have an external amplifier that can be controlled using the commands
"remote_power amp on" and "remote_power amp off".
I'd like to have ALSA automatically turn on the amplifier whenever
something tries to play sound and to turn it off after some period of
idleness. Is this possible?

Please run

and tell us the output. My guess is that your are not running

Thanks for the idea but if I use -sameq then

Hi,
since openmoko does not support hardware rotation I thought I'd
reencode videos for it and rotate them to fit to the 240x320 display

the shortest debconf9 video I could find as an example:

It seems that /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh does not actually call mount, it

when a network interface is brought up.
Should I try starting bind9 before network is brought up? That sounds
