[ILUG] Alsa

[Jason Corcoran]

Hi there,

I have reinstalled Red Hat 6.2 over my SuSE 6.4, company seems to be
moving towards Red Hat for production of our new software. Now I am one
of those whistle while you work people and Like to have music playing.
The sndconfig utility which comes with Red Hat dose not support my
PCI Cirrus Logic|CS  4614/22/24 [CrystalClear  SoundFusion Audio
Accelerator] But Alsa dose. So I downloaded the latest Alsa Drivers,
Lib's and Utils. Followed the documents for installation and proceeded
with a modprobe snd-card-cs461x. When I do a lsmod I get the following
...

Module                  Size  Used by
snd-card-cs461x         2008   0
snd-cs461x             65036   0  [snd-card-cs461x]

soundcore               2628   2  [snd]

sunrpc                 52132   1  (autoclean) [lockd]
3c59x                  18980   1  (autoclean)

But when I try to play a MP3 on Xmms I get a /dev/dsp: No such device
error on my command line. I know this sound card works. I had no
problems with SuSE 6.4.

Any suggestions or comments.
Thanks.
Jason
