Package: gnome-media
Version: 2.6.2-1
Severity: important

Using the Debian Installer RC2 to perform a fresh install of a Debian
desktop system, I ended up with Linux 2.4.27, and automatically
configured OSS i810_audio drivers for my Intel onboard sound card.

The sound card appears to work fine (for instance, invoking "esd" with
no arguments gives the expected startup beeps), yet my GNOME Desktop
mixer shows a zero volume level, and clicking "Open Volume Control" on
the volume control applet's context menu shows an error dialog box:
   Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found

Performing an strace on gnome-volume-control shows that it is attempting
to open all manner of ALSA-style mixer device files such as:
- /dev/snd/controlC0
- /dev/aloadC0
but none of the expected (OSS) sound devices such as:
- /dev/mixer
- /dev/dsp
are probed.

It seems that somehow either the present GNOME Volume Control applet is
only able to handle ALSA sound devices or that the incorrect version of
it is chosen by the installer.

I also note that I am in the audio group (which I had to add manually)
and that the OSS device files have permissions:
   crw-rw---- root audio

It would be very nice if all this worked out of the box.

The fixed gnome-applets reaches sarge today, therefore I'm re-closing this
