Comment 10 for bug 613809

hello , Thank's for joining.

The problem is that the developpers from sound section, Dissabled all oss emulation into kernel. This because they try (and this is not easy) to let work everyrhing true pulse audio oss. Many persons already informed them that :

1) Pulse audio does not support many (even a majority) off HDA audio card's and there is no way to work around that by adding extra settings. This already causes bugs from start with the alsa-mixer which is required to let the audio work on HDA cards.

2) Alsa has the nice utility to give a line like:
 options snd-hda-intel model=asus-p5q (for me ) that asus may be a lot of cards depending which you have.

In to /etc/modprobe.d/ alsa-base.conf
Pulse audio disregard this setting and only uses the basic probed bios settings at boot time, since info from bios is limited, the wrong versions of audio card is selected leaving you with missing mixer inputs . Even worse wrong mixer handling are sometimes a result of this.

So long thet pulse audio is not further developped to support ALL audio card's Many users will be left without goud working sound.

The only remaining option we have now, is to download the latest patched ubuntu kernel source, reconfigure the kernel to include oss sound core and alsa oss emu pcm,mixer,sequencer. And compile it ourself. This does work out very well. For me the compilation of linux kernel takes about 01:10 Hr .

So yes When maverick will come's out and they leave it like that,
Many (if not the most) users using a lot of multimedia sound applications on ubuntu will have NOTHING.

The basic linux kernel IS NOT MADE TO WORK like they do for 10.10. It is not for nothing that oss-snd core is included into the kernel.

Al complains aubout this are falling into deaf ears, and answer's on the question to include it again are simply NO Without any argument,

That's it
