> I edit /etc/discover.conf and put disable the modules of OSS and > Voila!!!! Remember those words... We will probably see this problem a lot in the future. To resume: discover loads the OSS drivers when "discovering" the sound devices. Obviously, if a user installs alsa, the logical thing would be to blacklist the OSS drivers in the /etc/discover.conf automatically. But the problem is that, Debian policy, the alsa package is not allowed to change the configuration of another package. So the user has to add the blacklist to /etc/discover.conf himself. As for as I understand, the solution would be to change discover configuration from a single file to a directory, where alsa can add it's blacklist during installation. A similar mechanism is already being used with hotplug) But I guess the Debian alsa and discover maintainers should work this out... Maarten
