RE: commercial oss sound drivers [In reply to]

Yep, I'm using it with an Audiophile 2496 without any problems. I use
the analog input channel under myth (/dev/dsp2) for sound capture and
/dev/dsp for sound playback. I initially was able to get this card to
work with the Alsa drivers but experienced too many dropouts with AC3
and the spdif channel.

You can download an eval copy of the oss drivers for testing.

Alsa drivers work fine for me, I just hate setting up the mixer for all the
different audio inputs I have on my SB Live! Ossxmix is a HUGE improvement
over kmix and others I've tried with alsa.

Heh, I have a license already. I just tried it and couldn't get it to work
with either mythtv or xawtv, may revisit it again in the future when I put
together a dedicated mythtv box.
