Hi all again! I am wondering how difficult it would be to add an audio system section to the Mandrake Control Center. It would:
* Allow the user to elect OSS or ALSA as the default (configuring the correct module settings) * Automatic creation of asoundrc * Allow the user to specify how the sound card(s) features are used (2,4,5,6-channel operation, digital i/o, etc.) * Allow the user to use an audio-optimized kernel. Say by adding a linux-audio or linux-multimedia <bootloader of your choice> entry * Provide configuration of JACK for the machine's ALSA configuration, auto start up of JACK. * Auto-configuration of audio applications to use JACK, ALSA, OSS, or whatever. How hard would it be to do this? I think it would be very useful for anyone interested in using audio applications on a Mandrake machine, and it seems that it's just a matter of making sure the right packages are installed, and writing to a bunch of config files... Cheers! Paul.
