I had ALSA drivers installed (0.9.something, I don't recall), and working with xmms 1.2.7-1. Recently, I had to recompile my kernel to include PPP support I'd left out (duh), so I obtained ALSA 0.9.5.
There seems to be a problem talking to the PCM hardware now. There's nothing interesting in /var/log/messages. PLAY in xmms puts up the "check output driver" dialog (I tried eSound, OSS, etc), but alsaplayer at least returns an error: ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2096:(snd_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable error on snd_pcm_hw_par/ams_any Unavailable hw params: (many; see below if you care) I have: Sony Vaio VX-89 (same as VX-88) RH linux 7.3 2.4.20, ACPI patches (same as before) alsa-(driver,lib,utils) 0.9.5 alsaplayer 0.99.75 I did also compile and install the HSF drivers for the Conexant linmodem, but none of those modules are installed (I rebooted, no modem access), and since they are modules there shouldn't be a conflict -- right?! (gulp) WHAT I DID: Everything (driver,lib,util) compiled and installed with no errors. (/usr/src/linux linked to correct kernel directory of course). Did ./configure, make for each in exact order described on alsa-project Intel 8x0 page. alsaconf sees my chip (82801BA/BAM AC'97 rev 3), added the probes in /etc/modules.conf, and restarted ALSA without complaint. Manual restarts of driver generate no complaints. /etc/modules.conf is below, as is lsmod. After install and all that, I rebooted to avoid module loading issues.
