I built ppc.samba.org::linux-pmac-devel the other day (in response to another query) and the dmasound module appeared to be fine. Those messages relate to OSS (or even ALSA support, don't know without checking) - and don't originate from the dmasound code. Possibly there are still facilities (like the DSP_GETCAPS type) that are not completely implemented (or still not implemented at all). I'll look when I get back to it - or someone else can ;-). For now, I suggest that (unless you desperately need it), - you disable the OSS stuff in your .config. ciao, Iain. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
