Re: [Alsa-user] How to load a sound bank automatically ?

Thank you Frank, but it doesn't work ...

In my /etc/modules.conf I have exactly the same lines for "alias".

I replaced:
"post-install snd-seq /usr/local/bin/sfxload /usr/share/sounds/sf2/8mbgmsfx.sf2"
by:
"post-install snd-synth-emu10k1 /usr/local/bin/sfxload /usr/share/sounds/sf2/8mbgmsfx.sf2"
and now I can see more modules loaded at starting but no snd-seq-oss and sfxload is still requesting /dev/sequencer :-)

NB: are you sure of snd-synth-emu10k1 ? (snd-emu10k1-synth ?)

Strange also, /var/log/messages seems better:
I had:
jun 29 21:35:19 localhost alsasound: Starting sound driver: snd-emu10k1
Jun 29 21:35:20 localhost kernel: lp0: compatibility mode
jun 29 21:35:22 localhost alsasound: done
jun 29 21:35:22 localhost alsasound: /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory
jun 29 21:35:22 localhost alsasound: modprobe: post-install snd-seq failed
jun 29 21:35:24 localhost rc: Lancement de alsasound :  succeeded

I have now:
jun 29 22:53:16 localhost alsasound: Starting sound driver: snd-emu10k1
Jun 29 22:53:16 localhost kernel: lp0: compatibility mode
jun 29 22:53:19 localhost alsasound: done
jun 29 22:53:20 localhost rc: Lancement de alsasound :  succeeded 


But, I still need to find a trick to load snd-seq-oss automatically.
