I cannot speak to the alsa driver working or not working but decided to get to the bottom of the no sound problem in zinf. The bug reports filed with debian and the zinf web site are less than helpful. So the answer is easy and absolutely not obvious, in the preferences file in the .zinf directory of your home directory there is a variable softmix. It is set to true by default. Setting softmix to false will clear up the zinf non-sound problem. How I finally discovered the answer is a long story but it involved compiling and debugging and other usual bug hunting bullshit. All that for a nice simple little fix. Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
