I thought that OSS was depricated in favor of ALSA?
Depricated in the official kernel tree. People are still developing it though.

Yesterday I transitioned from Core3 to Core4. My sound disappeared. Core4 is shipped without the kernel source code.
I have a special sound driver for my Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live EMU10k1X card. The driver is Open Sound System from <http://www.opensound.com/>. It needs to be compiled with the kernel. I sent the soundconfig.log to the Help Desk.
EMU10k1X? Isn't that an audigy? I have two different SBlive (emu10k1) models and both work with either the OSS or ALSA drivers. Is there a specific feature you need in the OSS version that ALSA doesn't provide?

You don't have the kernel source RPM, otherwise OSS would not be complaining: directory. Stop. directory. Stop.
Please install the kernel source RPM and then get the REGPARM version of OSS. ---------------------end snip----------------------------------------
I downloaded and installed <kernel-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4.src.rpm>.
The src.rpm isn't really what you want here... You want the kernel-devel package. If you have yum set up, just yum install kernel-devel. There was a a time when "all you needed" to build kernel modules was in the kernel rpm but iirc people complained about the size so it got split out.
Since then I have been thrashing around without success. I would appreciate an email from anyone who has a moment to help. It does not seem appropriate to foist further details onto this whole list.

I vote foist away, this list is pretty low traffic lately ;) (hence why I am posting instead of just lurking as usual) -- rewster <rewster@rewster.org>
