What's the deal with the sound blaster sound drivers and their dependancy on other modules? Why do I have to compile mpu401 to get sb to work? I have an original Sound Blaster 1.0, which probably has something like an OPL1 chip on it, no mpu401, and a 22khz 8bit single mono DAC on it, but just getting sound to compile was hard enough (2.1.77 the diffs already supplied by someone else), but selecting which modules I needed was nightmarish I was wondering half the time what I should select? generic opl2/3 and there is a separate opl3 support? and an mpu401 which says NOT for sb16.... huh?? can we simplify things a bit and have seperate Sound Blaster/pro/16/32/64 settings or at least something that makes a tad more sense or just works? But I have at least gotten to the stage where sound works in quake, and i can play audio files etc.. linux is the only OS that supports my SB 1.0 in quake.. (both dos and win won't do it) :)
So yeah, far out man, sorry for soundin a bit stoned an all.. Have a good one, and keep up with the legendary work on this legendary OS, Linux!
Dave.
