Ronald and I talked about this a while ago; my proposed solution is to have the Alsa OSS compatibility kernel drivers export somehow that they are simply a shim layer instead of a real device, and for gnome-volume- control not to display them by default. Perhaps this could actually be done at the HAL level. This won't happen for FC3 though, at least not gold. It might be possible to backport fixes from GNOME 2.10 and have updated alsa packages though. > But I don't think it's good idea to keep OSS plugin only because > sometimes it works better than alsa plugin. One alternative instead would be have gnome-volume-control skip OSS mixers for now.
