Hi there.
"mini-howto" setup a soundcard on Debian "the debian way".
*********************************************************
I think ALSA on Debian is still a pain.
I gave it a try yesterday.
That's how I did it (so far)
1.) I don't dare to use alsaconf...
+ apt-get install kernel-source...
+ apt-get install alsa-base
+ apt-get install alsa-utils
+ apt-get install alsa-source
(they are all 0.9.12-3 on woody)
2.) compiling the kernel the debian way
(make-kpkg --revision mykern.1 kernel_image)
3.) compiling the alsa-source the debian way
(make-kpkg --revision mykern.1 modules_image)
now I had the two deb-files in /usr/src/
+ dpkg -i them
(+ restart the kernel)
** ALSA LIB 0.9.12-3
+ apt-get install alsa-headers
+ apt-get install libasound2-dev
+ the great tool modconf (thanks to whoever hinted me for this)
allows to insert the alsa-modules at boot-time
+ fine-tuning: I'm not sure, but I think alsaconf should do this:
/etc/modutils/aliases
alias snd-card-0 snd-sbawe
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
and I think there should be some more aliases, but I'll talk to debian
people here, I guess.
(still have problems with isapnp and the like )
But
1.) sound works
1a.) oss-emu works
2.) synth works
3.) midi external works
4.) I could compile timidity with alsa0.9 and lock my whole system, yeah!
This is my small story.
I think it's a kludge, since people want to compile from real sources and
I don't know how the modules location etc. works if you don't do it ^this
way...
my 2 cent on this topic.
hope someone was being helped here. :)
tobias.
