 |

# /etc/init.d/alsasound start
* Loading ALSA drivers...
* Using ALSA OSS emulation
* Loading: snd-mixer-oss
* Loading: snd-pcm-oss
* Loading: snd-cmipci
* Running card-dependent scripts
* Restoring Mixer Levels
I do not want OSS Loaded at all, so how do I prevent it?
I edited /etc/modules.d/alsa and commented out anything OSS related, but it still does it.
How do I stop OSS support from being loaded? |

| Code: | if modprobe -c | grep -q "snd.*oss$" ; then
# Test for use of OSS
einfo "Using ALSA OSS emulation"
OSS="$(modprobe -l | grep "snd.*oss" | sed -e "s:\/.*\/::" -e "s:\..*::")"
# Add oss modules to list
for i in ${OSS}
do
DRIVERS="${i} ${DRIVERS}"
done
fi

Looks sorta like its looking for OSS compat modules, and if it finds them, loads them.
I'd guess you should just not build the compat modules at all.
It's not loading OSS drivers, anyways, just a compatibility layer for programs that dont use ALSA natively yet |

Dude. ALSA --> OSS compatibility is a GOOD thing. It allows you to play games or run programs which have no native ALSA driver. In short, it isn't hurting you, and you're still using ALSA.
