Changes In Init Script On SL10.0
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
The alsasound initscript was changed to improve the boot/halt speed.
|
|
Now the script assumes that the devices are configured and initialized
|
|
via udev/coldplug, and does only minimal jobs with start and stop
|
|
commands. The modules to be loaded are listed in
|
|
/etc/sysconfig/hardware/cfg-* files. Also, the restoration of sound
|
|
set-up is done via udev instead of alsasound init script.
|
|
|
|
If you have a problem with loading sound modules, try to reconfigure
|
|
the sound device via yast. Note that the new alsaconf sets up the
|
|
hwcfg file properly.
|
|
|
|
When "restart" or "reload" command is used, alsasound behaves like
|
|
the older version, i.e. reload the modules. This is provided just
|
|
for convenience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
Since SuSE-6.4, the alsa modules come with the kernel rpms specifically
|
|
compiled for those kernels and the alsa package contains the libs, utils
|
|
and mixers for alsa.
|
|
|
|
ALSA is constantly improving, as this file. If you have any improvements
|
|
for it, please send them via http://www.suse.de/feedback
|
|

|
Module Configuration on Linux 2.6 Kernels
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
The configuration of ALSA modules is written to /etc/modprobe.d/sound
|
|
file via YaST and alsaconf. Don't modify /etc/modprobe.conf directly,
|
|
since this file may be overwritten when the package is updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Module Option Names
|
|
-------------------
|
|
The module option names are renamed to the standard style without
|
|
snd_ prefix. For example, the former "snd_index" module option became
|
|
now "index".
|
|
generate-modprobe.conf script in module-init-tools package converts
|
|
these names automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes from ALSA 0.5.x to 0.9.0
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
Along with the upgrade to ALSA ver.0.9.0, there have been many changes
|
|
done from ver.0.5.0, which was included in SuSE 6.x and 7.x
|
|
distributions.
|
|
|
|
First of all, the name of top-level driver module becomes now like
|
|
"snd-sb16.o" while the older version uses "snd-card-sb16.o".
|
|
If you upgrade the existing system, please set up the sound
|
|
configuration again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Package Splitting
|
|
-----------------
|
|
The gamix and alsa-tools (envy24control, cspctl and sbiload) are split
|
|
to inidividual packages.
|
|
|
|
The programs in alsa-tools are also divided to two packages, alsa-tools
|
|
and alsa-tools-gui. The latter includes the programs with the graphical
|
|
interface (gtk, fltk), while the former includes only the console
|
|
applications such as the firmware loaders.
