I raised this idea on #debian-kernel and it was shot down.[0] [0]http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-alsa-devel/2005-March/002039.html As one of the ALSA maintainers, I have done what I can about this problem. People who want to use ALSA can install alsa-base which blacklists OSS modules. If a fresh sarge/2.6 system lacks alsa-base then this would seem to be a problem because in that case nothing enforces the mutual exclusion of OSS and ALSA modules. If linux26 doesn't install alsa-base then perhaps it should do so. Even better, possibly, would be to give the user a choice between OSS and ALSA: if the user chooses ALSA then she gets alsa-base; if she chooses OSS then she gets the (currently nonexistent) "oss" package which blacklists ALSA modules. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
