Hi, > the mixer complexity is utterly baffling
Yes, you're right. > some people actually want control over all that One of those people is me. I just can't figure out what the designer of the mixer controls has been smoking. > excellent documentation at http://alsa.opensrc.org/ None of it tells me how to get stereo input on the Line in to stereo output on the digital din on my Value edition Live!. > The same rationale is used for the Ubuntu Dapper kernel: While OSS/Free is not enabled by default, the modules are still compiled and are available. No, you're wrong.

(And then I had control over all the fiddly bits using the emu-tools package, which was comprehensible) > you probably meant to rant on is "Ubuntu doesn't enable OSS/Free support by default" No, I wanted to rant on "OSS not included, likelihood of having easy-to- use sound / ever being sane drastically reduced" Anyways, I'm off to watch some left-channel-only world cup football.
