Re: OSS on redhat?

[Martin Kurz <mkurz mail deuba com>]

Hi everyone,

I try to get the builtin sound on my PSW433a to work.  But so far I wasn't
very
successful. Is it true that I have to use the driver for SB cards? How about
/dev/dsp
support? Build as a module or into the kernel?

Thanks,

Martin
