README.SLACKWARE for oss
After installing the package, do the following:
1. Blacklist the alsa modules for your sound card.
The output of "lsmod | grep snd" should give you a list of which modules
will need to be blacklisted.
2. Make /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa non-executable: chmod 0644 /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa
3. Make /etc/rc.d/rc.oss executable: chmod 0755 /etc/rc.d/rc.oss
4. Add this snippet to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.oss ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.oss start
fi
5. Reboot.
6. Test sound to ensure that it works - use "osstest" for this.
7. Configure applications to use OSS instead of ALSA; typically, this will
involve setting the "Sound Command" or some such to use "ossplay"
