I wonder if the long startup > delay is still there? I've been trying to see if I can get OpenSound working on the laptop under a current build. Last night I did get sound out, using the files that were originally there (dating from 2009, I think). The usual wait after boot before it would work was still there. I've replaced them today with the current optional package, and so far have complete silence! Maybe I haven't waited long enough yet... I'm beginning to think OSS is a bit of a waste of time. The audio buffer size is 16384, which gives a latency of 1/3 sec! There seems to be no easy way to change this, and it makes it useless for me. (This latency is also probably the reason for the silence. Don't really understand why, but I had the same problem on my machine using auich until I found that a settings file that reduces the buffer size to 256 should be installed. [ticket #7284]) -- Pete --
