Re: [Gwc-general] GWC 0.21-03 is released

[Jeff W. <we...@ya...>]

OK.  I'll put understanding ALSA at the top of my reading list :-)

Anyone else have any clues?

In the meantime Johan, you might try configuring gwc, but without
the --enable-alsa flag.  That will cause GWC to use the old OSS interface,
which ALSA emulates.  That may work just fine I ran it that way on
my Fedora Core 1 box for a long time, but there can be reasons
why it might work for me and not for you (primarily the soundcard driver),
you'd just have to try it.

Good luck.  Keep us informed so we can help you.  I believe understanding
what is happening to you and fixing it will make GWC better for everyone!

Thanks,
Jeff
