Z6 sound system

[Abram]

Hi guys. I'm looking for sound system in Z6, I want to install a new player, but OSS seems not working (no /dev/dsp like in other Linux phones).

Any suggestions? Maybe ALSA?

Definitely ALSA. It's the default sound system on 2.6 kernels (Z6 uses 2.6.10) and probably Motorola hasn't turned on the OSS emulation.

Ok, thanks, I'll try to look for alsa libs on phone. BTW, it the only trouble before making mplayer work

Damn, there's no any information about ALSA in sources on opensource.motorola.com . Any suggestions how2 compile and/or use ALSA libs?

linux/sound/makefile

obj-$(CONFIG_SOUND) += soundcore.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME) += oss/
obj-$(CONFIG_DMASOUND) += oss/
obj-$(CONFIG_SND) += core/ i2c/ drivers/ isa/ pci/ ppc/ arm/ synth/ usb/ sparc/ parisc/ pcmcia/ mips/

ifeq ($(CONFIG_SND),y)
obj-y += last.o
endif

soundcore-objs := sound_core.o sound_firmware.o

looks like it's got OSS .. also there does not seem to be any alsa PCM plugins ... check for dsp or dsp1 in /dev/sound for OSS dev files
For alsa u shd have /dev/snd/pcmC0d0p/c files

[Abram]

Nope . What's dsp's node? I mean, I want to see ls -al and check, maybe it have another name

Hey guys, try looking at libezxsound - I really need sound to get mplayer and other useful stuff working! I think it's same in all EZX phones.
