Can I make id games use ALSA?
 
OSS does not work on my Computer, Can I make id Software Games (And other Programs) use ALSA, or SDL?

There are probably better ways to do this, but here is a simple workaround: aoss

This is a wrapper that causes all OSS calls to be forwarded to ALSA.

For example, if you normally would run Quake 3 with "q3", now run it with "aoss q3".

I thought that alsa can emulate oss now. Check your kernel config.

How is this Done?

I have an ~/.openalrc:
Code:
;(define devices '(native alsa sdl esd arts null))
(define devices '(alsa sdl))

(define speaker-num 2)

; Standard config
(define alsa-out-device "hw:0,0")

; Config for usb-audio
;(define alsa-out-device "hw:1,0")

; For alsa-in support. Mainly for using voice chat.
;(define alsa-in-device "hw:0,0")

; Some drivers do not support select.
;(define native-use-select ;t)
Semicolon comments. Put your device in 'define alsa-out-device' line. I have two sound cards and can use one or another by commenting/uncommenting an appropriate line.

cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig

check device drivers > sound and then enable alsa oss mixer, sequencer, pcm (if not enabled)
make modules (if you chose them as modules) or make bzimage (if compiled into the kernel)
make modules install (to install new modules)
copy your new kernel into your boot dir
edit modules or groob or lilo config files and add your new kernel or tell them to load new modules

Does this mean Rebuilding the Kernel?
