The purpose is to not present the user with any questions just accept the default as if the user hit enter. Again, I have already "configured" the driver for the hardware I want - nice config command line so no questions are asked. Then running alsaconf needs that same kind of command line option to just accept all the defaults and do its normal thing. Is that possible to add? I looked at alsaconf and yes I can change it. however, I when then next version of alsa comes out I dont want something that I did in a "special" script to no longer work. I would think others would find that useful also. Jerry ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
