I'm gradually getting Etch installed on my new box and I'm ready to get sound working. I figure I'll try out vlc as an all-singing-all-dancing media player. However, looking through the package lists none of the media players depend on alsa.
There's no mention of sound in either the installation manual or debian-reference. I'm assuming I need alsa so I installed it and note that lsmod shows the sound modules are loaded. If I was a total newbie, how would I know how to play sound? Am I missing something or shouldn't there be some discussion of sound in the debian-reference?
