Open Sound Issue or OS issue ?
Like many have posted before, the issue again is related to
sound on my laptop. But then, I am not being able to fathom,
as to whether it is an oss issue or is it to do with the
kernel. This mail is a bit long, but to shorten things
(somewhat), I have placed three text outputs from my system as
attachments for diagnostic purposes.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520, which I am using for over 16
months now, (the hardware components from pciconf output of my
system attached). Mine would be one of the best boxes for
comparisons because I have four OSs concurrently running from
native partitions (not on vmware), on the same box. They are
Win-XP, SuSE-11, OpenSolaris 2008.5 and PC-BSD 7.0.1.
Yes, the hardware is definitely Win-friendly, and all
hardware, specially sound is not supported by available open
source drivers for the *nices. For SuSE, sound is functional
under ALSA, though microphone could not be made to work.
My surprise is under OpenSolaris and PC-BSD. I am using
exactly the same OSS driver for both OSs on the same box.
(Debug info for both OSs attached). Whereas I get sound
perfectly (no microphone though) on OpenSolaris, for PC-BSD it
is still a silent box.
My question is, if the same OSS driver (version and build)
works under one OS, why should not it work for another on
exactly the same box ?

PS : I am not sure if attachments are permitted on this list.
If not, I will post them inline in a follow-up mail.
