I've just seen one of many postings to this list about preferring ALSA to
various flavours of OSS, and I've read all the blurb about how wonderful
ALSA is, but when I tried to install it on Debian, first on Potato some
time ago and more recently on the Woody 'testing' pre-release, I either
get a shower of messages about incompatible dependencies or alsaconf fails
to complete installation (I forget how, maybe can't see the sound
card)
I'm not too bothered as I have now got the paid-for OSS driver for my
Midiman 2448 working again since recently upgrading to Woody.
Did I install the wrong thing or in the wrong order? (there's lots of
packages with 'ALSA' in the name)
Is there some easy way of fixing the dependency complaints? I don't
really understand the mechanism or the error message.
Has anyone used ALSA with the Midiman/M-Audio Dio2448? Does it support
the S/PDIF input properly? The card is listed as supported on the ALSA
web site.
