I just bought a new machine and i thought i was getting a safer bet going with one that had a soundcard from creative (i was hoping for EMU10k1 chip but..).=20 I now use snd_ca0106 which is compiled from alsa-driver 1.0.8 and it works but there is some issues. The worst one first: There is no master volume, no pcm volume... I can only change the individual channel volumes. This doesn't help me, i doubt it helps anyone... Channel variance is something that should be tweaked once or twice not constantly imho. Also with gnome volume thingies this problem compounds... Right now selecting front works, but which front? digital or analog? I will have sound coming from both...=20 And now some words on OSS emu: It seems like this card defaults to a higher hertz than common oss, so you get samples that play too quick and some clipping noises... I have noticed that if you play something long enough it will eventually work but that's not fun... The same clipping noise can happen with apps using alsa... it doesn't happen with the gstreamer framework though. Common commandline mpg123 works (uses oss) but, f.ex. xmms doesn't work. The OSS mixer doesn't work either... If something plays via OSS, alsa won't work stating that it's busy... But playing multiple streams over alsa seems to work. That's about it from now, I guess i have been spoiled coming from emu10k1 on OSS...=20 PS. CC: since I'm not subbed. alsa-devel was added as a initial post, if you use reply-to-all from alsa-user, please drop it since it might not be appreciated by them =3D).
