Subject: Detecting ALSA OSS emulation
Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2003 07:06:57 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031208120657.GD535@zewt.org> (raw)
Is there a reliable way to find out if /dev/dsp is being handled by
ALSA? I want to be able to detect this for diagnostics. (If /dev/dsp
is ALSA, the native alsa-lib code should have been used, and something
has gone wrong.) Currently, I'm checking for the existance of
/proc/asound/version, but at least one user had a configuration where
that file existed but /dev/dsp was really OSS.
(That's what it looked like, and what he claimed, at least; I havn't
tried to reproduce that configuration, with both ALSA and OSS loaded
and only OSS actually handling sound. It's possible something else
was happening and the user was wrong.)
