List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi. I am trying to get zinf to run under slackware 9.0, kernel v2.4.20. I first tried to use the alsa drivers for my sound card, a pci128. I got the alsa drivers, libs and utils installed. I was able to use aplay to play a wave file. I then installed zinf. when I ran zinf, I got a message tht alsa-pcm-hw device was busy. I then uninstalled alsa and zinf, installed sound modules in the kernel, and again, I was able to get a wave file to play. when I ran zinf, i got absolutely no sound, except a runbleing sound if i turned the speaker volume up all the way. I tried adjusting the volumes on the sound card with a program called mixer. no help. I then downloaded the oss package from opensound and installed it as a demo. again, a wave file pays fine, and zinf doesn't. I am trying to get zinf-2.2.3 to operate correctly. any help would be appricated. thanks phil
