reassign 366342 alsa-base tags 366342 + moreinfo thanks I presume, then, that you don't have a via82xx- or emu10k1-driven card?
I doubt this is an alsa-lib issue. If the answer to the above question is "no, neither", then the bug is really in the alsa-driver source package (generating the alsa-base binary). In debian/alsa-base.modprobe we see that via82xx- and emu10k1-driven (but not other) cards already load snd-seq, which provides /dev/sequencer. Resolved in Ubuntu (Oct 2006) by loading snd-seq unconditionally: install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && { /sbin/modprobe -Qb snd-seq ; } ----- Original Message ---- From: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Michael Gilbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org>; Debian ALSA Maintainers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 7, 2008 11:12:07 PM Subject: [Pkg-alsa-devel] Processed: Bug#366342: no /dev/snd/seq for AC97 alsa driver -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
