zinf problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm not using the most current version of zinf right now but recall
adding the alsa configuration option when compiling it.  do a
./configure --help to find the exact option.  I recall that fixing it
for me after installing ALSA.  But than again, I don't recall ever
getting any errors about a sound device being busy either.
