Today, I finished my FrugalBuild for adding the OSSv4 API and drivers to Frugalware. I would like to ask for people to help with testing this new package. I have only tested it myself, so I don't know if it is working properly on any other system right now. Keep in mind, you must be using current. For me, it was as as easy as this:
sudo pacman -Sy oss oss-gtk-mixer sudo service oss start And to remove it later: sudo pacman -R oss oss-gtk-mixer And it replaced ALSA with its scripts. From my tests, it seems to be 100% reversible if you remove the package later, automatically. You can use the program 'ossxmix' to modify the sound levels with a GUI mixer. I am hoping I have already resolved the issues, but I need a second opinion to finish off any rough patches I may have missed. Finally, you will need to point your audio programs to use an OSS backend. Many already come with this, either through a library backend, direct support, or otherwise. I await feedback now. _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
