alsa-oss devel-files and alsa-firmware license

[Thorsten Leemhuis]

Hi,

I'm currently repacking alsa for the fedora.us repository.

I have two problems at the moment:

- I can't find any license info in the alsa-firmware package. Is it
freely redistributable? An if, under which license?  
Current fedora.us bug:
http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1107

- What the purpose of
/usr/lib/libaoss.a
/usr/lib/libaoss.so
after compiling alsa-oss? Nobody should be compiling with them,
or missed I something? Maybe see bug

http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=592

for a better description of our current problem. I'm not enough a C
developer and also don't know alsa so deep...

Thanks for your help 

CU

aoss is a clever little app which hijacks oss applications output before 
it gets to the alsa emulation layer and translates it to native ALSA.

discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets 
disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street. 
Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before 
the arrival of U.S. troops.

Thanks, I know what aoss does, I simply does a

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libaoss.so.0 $*

And this file is linked against

# ldd /usr/lib/libaoss.so.0
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0042f000)
        libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0x00549000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x0040b000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x00537000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x002d0000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x002b8000)

So what's the purpose of /usr/lib/libaoss.a ? AFAIK its a development
library -- but are there any programs that are develop ontop of
alsa-oss? Or does it have another purpose?

Maybe look at the bug at
http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=592
