I'm running into a problem with using the sound module with kerneld. Every time the modules is reloaded by kerneld it re-initalizes the volume. An example of the problem can be shown by the output of this script:
mixer vol 90 ; mixer -V | grep vol ; sleep 120 ; mixer -V | grep vol
which is: vol - 90,90 vol - 50,50
This test assumes that kerneld is set to autoclean every 60 seconds and that nothing is using the sound driver during the 2 minute sleep period.
Is there some configuration option I missed to set TASD (the sound module) to load without re-setting the volume?
I have already checked the sound=0xTaaaId options (which, btw, is now left undocumented in the latest kernels!! :( ) to see if that could help but didn't find anything for loading without reseting the volume levels.
I also would be interested in hearing if anyone has come up with any sort of work around (regardless of how hokie it might be).
Thanks, Ben Galliart (bgallia@luc.edu)
Btw, I'm using Linux kernel version 1.3.84 with the modules 1.3.57 package and using a PAS16 (Pro Audio Spectrum 16) with both the PAS16 and SB support compiled into the sound module.
