I have a PC with a P4 Intel chip at 1.8GB. My mainboard has a VIA8233
chip. It is running on Red Hat 8.0.
The ALSA drivers ( snd-via82xx) seem to be working fine with play or
aplay.
My modules.conf lines added by alsaconf are:
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 0.9.0 ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd major=116 cards_limit=1 device_mode=0666
options snd-via82xx index=0

I have two problems:
1) If artsd is running, play or aplay will not be able to play a sound
file until I kill artsd. I had to configure KDE not to run artsd. That
means that if artsd is running, there is no sound. How can I have artsd
running without disabling sound output?
2) As I discovered the function of artsd is to allow some programs to
write directly to /dev/dsp. The problem I have is that when some
program writes directly to /dev/dsp (while artsd is not running) I only
hear a cracking noise. How I can have programs to write directly to
/dev/dsp?.
Thanks
