I have a motherboard based on nVidia chips with built-in audio. The Intel8x0 driver works fine, except for the fact that I can only open 1 channel, /dev/dsp. And only open it once evidently. I need at least two, one for KDE and one for VMware.

When I try to open /dev/dsp for VMware I get device busy (because KDE has it open is my assumption). I have tried to use /dev/adsp for VMware and everything gets hosed, VMware hangs terribly and no sound comes out.

I have read the docs on www.alsa-project.org and have tried to do everything listed there. Also read the ALSA-Configuration.txt in the kernel source Documentation and have put in the Module snd-pcm-oss options (dsp_map, adsp_map, nonblock_open).

I have turned on verbose debugging in the kernel config, but very little comes out.

Kernel: 2.6.1
Slackware 9.0
KDE 3.3

/etc/modules.conf
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
