Those are the different ones of course. For me the dependancy issue is a primary problem of course, so the other one I simply ducked. > I actually removed the dependency from snd-pcsp Kconfig again since > this causes a dependency loop (at least, kbuild can't handle > properly). OK, good to know this. :) > But anyway, as mentioned in my previous post, snd-pcsp wouldn't be > enabled on most of distros' kernels because it cannot be built > together with input-pcspkr driver, unfortunately... Yes, making them to play well together is something to think about too. But I don't see how it can affect the distributors. If the distro doesn't have the sound enabled, then it won't enable snd-pcsp no matter what. If it does have the sound enabled, then why would it ever want to use pcspkr instead of snd-pcsp? I see this issue mostly as a theoretical one. If you see the real problems with the current situation, please let me know.
