Debian 3.0, SBLive.
I just did my first-ever kernel compilation (2.4.18) and compiled and
installed the latest (0.9.0rc3) ALSA drivers and library. I've had varying
problems trying to get the sound to work. The current situation is that
everything "works" but no sound is produced. The mixer settings _are_
proper. /dev/audio and the rest of them exist and are also "working", but eg.
catting stuff into them produces nothing. Aplay runs nicely but without a
sound, as does xmms.
While struggling with the setup I've tried to follow the bits and pieces of
documentation I've run into. Consequently, /etc/modules has these sound
modules:
snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss
snd-seq-oss
/etc/modules.conf has this kind of things (and a lot of non-sound stuff):
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias sound snd-emu10k1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias snd-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
Before I added "snd-(foo)-oss" into the module list, /dev/xxx audio devices
didn't work at all ("No such device"). After I added them, 'lsmod' has
been giving this kind of record-breaking spam:

Can anyone suggest possible answers to why no sound is produced?
