I posted a personal fix to a seeming KDE-breakage in its start-up script for
detecting sound. My fix involved using sndstat, which apparently is getting
phased out with kernel 2.4
There is another method for fixing the problem. From what I can see, the
script looks for "Sound" in the /proc/devices list. However, usage of OSS
seems to get bypassed. So a second method to fix the problem would be to do a
test for "OSS" as well as (or instead of) "Sound".
If you've ever examined /usr/X11R6/bin/startkde, you'll know what I'm referring
to.
