[Alsa-user] Running OpenAL apps without OSS emulation?

[Paul S. <su...@ya...>]

Is it possible to run OpenAL apps without the ALSA OSS
emulation modules loaded?

I have configured my .openalrc file to only use ALSA
but I get a failure message if I remove the OSS
modules.
This happens for two OpenAL apps I use.

ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1243:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid
value for card
open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory

Can someone explain what is wrong from that error
message?
I'm not sure if I should be asking the ALSA or the
OpenAL guys for help but since ALSA is doing the
complaining first ...  :)

BTW : Apps that support ALSA natively like XMMS run
without any problems.

Thanks
Paul
