oss-3.97d - Open Sound System(TM) soundcard driver Open Sound System(TM) (OSS) is the first attempt in unifying the digital audio architecture for UNIX. OSS is a set of device drivers that provide a uniform API across all the major UNIX architectures. It supports Sound Blaster or Windows Sound System compatible sound cards which can be plugged into any UNIX workstation supporting the ISA or PCI bus architecture. OSS also supports workstations with on-board digital audio hardware. The pkgsrc OSS installs the evaluation version of OSS available from ftp.opensound.com, but allows for updating the license file to a permanent license.

===========================================================================
Note that OSS users should build a kernel and disable the audio devices for soundcards supported by the OSS LKM.

To use OSS, you will need a kernel built:
* with the LKM option enabled, e.g. GENERIC, GENERIC_LAPTOP;
* without the audio devices for soundcards supported by OSS.

You should also initially run "soundconf" as root to detect and configure
and system soundcard(s), and to install a permanent license for OSS.
Note to users about the oss rc.d script.
2002-10-02 22:48:42 +02:00
There is an "oss" rc.d script that may be used to control the loading and
unloading of the OSS LKM.
