[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#315455: An ALSA only option

[Paul van Tilburg]

Hi!

I also do not want the snd-*-oss modules loaded.  
Some apps first try OSS before trying ALSA and then the whole ALSA dmix
setup or PulseAudio in my case fails because one app has /dev/dsp
opened.  Additionally, I do not have any worthwile OSS only apps,
though some games are OSS only.

So time after time I have to prevent dpkg from modifying
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base where I commented out the snd-*-oss lines and
merge the changes by hand (and this happens a lot).
What about a "ALSA only" or "ALSA with OSS emulation" option in
linux-sound-base and a small test in the snd-*-oss lines?

Kind regards,
Paul
