Well, the ymfpci driver (with native Alsa support) only uses the front speakers by default, unless the application (ie. aplay, alsaplayer) is told the use the rear speakers. In either case, you can still only get output on either the front or the rear :-) So rewriting the application wouldn't necessarily solve the problem.
Even if that wasn't the case, and rewring the application did resolve the issue, it doesn't really do the end user any good if they have to wait around for every application (some of which may now be unsupported) to be rewritten to support Alsa natively :-) Adam On Wed, 13 Mar 2002, James Courtier-Dutton wrote: > Why not just change the app to support alsa 0.9.x. > alsa 0.9.x is now in kernel 2.5.x, so the app should really move to > supporting it anyway. > Cheers > James > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Xavier > > ALLAMIGEON > > Sent: 12 March 2002 21:11 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [Alsa-devel] ymfpci : four speakers with OSS-emulation ? > > > > > > Good evening, > > I have installed the alsa-driver0.9.0beta12 on my MDK8.1 (kernel > > 2.4.18), and > > my rear speakers work.
