I'm tring to get pulseaudio running on Sid AMD64 using 4front-tech's OSS
sound driver for an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro card. I have uncommented
the OSS line (not the mmapped line because this has been apparently
removed upstream?) in default.pa but pulseaudio drops the sound card
immediately. I do not rule out user/config error as I can't really find
much about the OSS and pulseaudio combination.

My default.pa is the standard config but with the following 3 lines
uncommented:

load-module module-oss device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output
source_name=input
set-default-sink output
set-default-source input

In daemon.conf I have set high-priority to 1

My user is a member of audio, pulse, pulse-rt and pulse-access.

I then do "pulseaudio --log-level=debug" and get:

That's as far as I get with pulseaudio. If you need more info, please
don't hesitate to contact me.
