Can you choose between different soundcards, when you buy Solaris?
Anyway, the 2.2 kernel has modular sound support, so

Not on Unix, IMHO. But anyw

Because sound in 2.0 kernels is not modular enough. IO, IRQ etc. have
to be hardcoded into the kernel. Some option must not be set for some
soundcard, whereas others have to

Hi all.
Why does debian not include sound modules in the default kernel package?
Or maybe a sepperate package with sound modules which depends on the
kernel.

Hmm, if Linux isn't going to provide sound configuration on the initial
install, then why not note that on the main package selection screen
that comes up on a clean install and give directions on how to recall
the initial package selector once sound has been configured. This would
help people who

Buying OSS could be a way, yes...
But what would you need sound for the very first minute you install Linux
for anyway? I think that you'd have more things to do than listen to
music.

I got around these problems with a $20 purchase. I downloaded the OSS Linux
driver from www.opensound.com and installed it. It worked the very first time.
Now I don't need to configure sound in the kernel at all.

I think that there is far too much variation in sound cards for them to be
supported in the generic initial kernel. Perhaps support for whatever the
most typical sound setup might be could be compiled in. I don't know.
That would only help a subset of new users anyway. My impression is that
