I have a workstation with potato and adrian bunk's packages supporting
the 2.4.14 kernel.
I am running SMP with two processors on a P2B-DS motherboard. I have a
SoundBaster AWE64 card (ISA) that I would like to get working.
I started researching how to get sound working on my machine and I am
confused about the following:
* ALSA
* OSS
* PNP support (in the kernel or not)
It seems that I have to complete several configuration steps and get
several layers of software working to have sound function on my machine.
Would someone mind explaining to me (as a Sound newbie) which of what
appear to be competing sound system in Linux I should focus on.
Is there a question of applications / tools / games supporting one or
the other?
Am I better off getting a PCI-based sound card and not having any ISA
cards?
Thanks!
Randy
