alsa annoyance

alsa annoyance

[Jacob Schmude]

Hi

I'm using alsa 0.5.6 and have noticed that when I load the alsa modules,
modprobe complains about some modules that I never had in the first place,
such as:
snd-seq-client-62
snd-card-0
snd-card-1

Where is this coming from? There's no aliases in modules.conf like that.

Rather than using the name for a specific soundcard the kernel requests services
like sound-card-0 or sound-slot-6. This way you aliase sound-card-0 to whatever
your primary soundcard is and the kernel will automatically load the modules
you require. If you don't want any autoloading happening either
alias sound-card-0 off
or compile kmod out of your kernel.
Regards, Kerry.

In general, ALSA installation doesn't seem to be very friendly. I thought to
install ALSA drivers in order to use Speak_freely, but eventually it turned
out to be easier to recompile speak_freely with Dneeded_linear option to get
it to talk to /dev/dsp. I still have some problems with this though.

Vic
