OSS4 is a set of proprietary patches. You would need support in kernel, and support at an application level to use it. Not sure if USE=oss will work with OSS4, but one thing I know for sure is that you would need to get the patches from 4front technologies. And given that they keep moving the licen

[gentoo-user] OSS4: no sound with 4GB RAM

2008-11-26 Thread Nikos Chantziaras
I'm on AMD64. I'm using OSS4 and sound doesn't work with 4GB RAM (silence or noise). Works fine with 2GB. Anyone encountered something like this before? OSS 4.1_rc2. Kernel 2.6.27.7 (2.6.27-gentoo-r4).
