- ALSA is built into linux-2.6 kernels
- For linux-2.4 kernels:
- Download the ALSA drivers, modules, libs and tools
( alsa-source, alsa-modules, alsa-libs, alsa-tools )
- If oss modules are loaded, ALSA modules will NOT load
- Remove the obsoleted/deprecated/unsupported OSS modules
lists.Debian.org ALSA, OSS, hotplug, discover ( black listing )
