I've been looking at OSS, OSS/Lite and ALSA and have become thoroughly confused.
Question One: General knowledge question - where do these things fit into the Linux system? Are they patches to the kernel source, or what? Daemons? Has Debian packaged them and if so where? I have an SB16 sound card, and it's currently working OK - I compiled kernel support in and so on. But I want to see if I can get it to take two input channels and give one priority over another. ie like this: Input one - generic mp3s being played. Inpet two - festival. IF input 2 is active, then input one can either be paused, muted or stopped or something until it's finished. Am I making sense? If so, are these sound thingies something relavent, or not? Would they help? bekj -- : --Hacker-Neophile-Eclectic-Geek-Grrl-Queer-Disabled-Boychick-- : [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tertius.net.au/~gossamer/ : Conspiracies abound: If everyone's against you, the reason can't : *possibly* be that you're a fuckhead. : -- 'Usenet Guide to Power Posting'
