When I modprobe my sound card, I find that the snd-pcm-oss.o and mixer-oss.o modules are not there in the modules list. But when an OSS application is run, how does ALSA insert these two modules on the fly? Supposing I have manually inserted these two modules before hand and if ALSA again tries to insmod them, what will happen? could the system crash 'cos of this? Whenever ALSA is inserting the abv two modules on the run, it should be possible for me to insert my own module along with the two mentioned abv, isn't it? Can u pls tell me where in the ALSA src code this piece of action is happening and how to insert my own module on the run. --shaju abraham ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
