Re: HOWTO: Hear multiple sounds using Both ESD & ALSA
you might find that realplayer still doesn't work after switching to alsa. this is because it is looking for /dev/dsp which is the oss device. Fortunately, alsa includes oss emulation. to enable it, just type
Code:
modprobe -v snd-pcm-oss
this will create the /dev/dsp device, routed to alsa.
Realplayer (and other oss only apps, no doubt) then works.
If that works fine, then just add snd-pcm-oss to the file /etc/modules
it will be loaded automatically at boot.
When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
