Hey All,<br><br>Can anyone point me to a good resource that will explain how audio works in Fedora?<br>I suspect its more complex than one article would tackle but I just don't get a bunch of things:<br><br>Why xmms only works with the oss plugin and not with alsa plugin?<br>
Why oss is even part of Fedora anymore?<br>Why pulse audio show up in "ps aux" ( 2672 0.0 0.1 203416 5644 ? S 01:13 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --log-target=syslog) but nothing ever shows up in the pulse audio volume control?<br>
<br>I need a giant schematic that outlines how alsa, oss, pulse audio and jack work/don't work together. I mainly use my system for multitrack audio production with Ardour/Jack but I also do some work with ecasound, kino, and all kinds of other multimedia experiments. I find that when things don't work I am lost because I don't know how to troubleshoot properly.<br>
<br>Anyways... I'd appreciate any pointers to good reading to learn about this sort of thing.<br><br>Thanks,<br>F<br><br>
