ABLE i386
>Description:
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, someone made the (bonehead)
decision to limit the sound driver to one device. With Luigi's pcm
driver, the unit number for the PnP detected cards is nearly always 1,
and so you can't create the symlinks that will make your sound work.
>How-To-Repeat:
Take a stock 2.2.[67] system with a supported soundcard, compile in
pcm support, and try to cat a sound file to /dev/audio. You get
the message:
pcm0: unit not configured, perhaps you want pcm1 ?
and no sound comes out. Sometimes you get a message
timeout flushing dbuf_out, chan 1 cnt 0xccb4 flags 0x00000441
>Fix:
Apply patch to src/etc/etc.i386/MAKEDEV
