Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Problems with webcam drivers



Hi Anne,

cutting into here, there is to say, that 2.6 does actually ship OSS
modules. So it's not technically impossible to have OSS with 2.6, yet it
however is depreciated. To use the ALSA on a /dev/dsp you need the
snd-usb-audio (for the USB cam mic) and snd-pcm-oss (for the OSS
emulation). The rest should show up loaded automagically.
Yet for native ALSA drivers loaded, having the libpwlib-plugin-alsa is
the far better option. Especially you have a more meaningful device
naming than with the OSS plugin. ;)

It's quite quiet around there. So don't be frustrated if it takes ages
for someone capable of helping to show up. ;)
