On every other distro that I've used (Mandrake, Caldera, Vectorlinux - all all 2.4.x kernels), all I have to do to get sound for xfce, etc., is to compile the esssolo1 kernel module and do a modprobe (or equivalent at boot time) for esssolo1.

One thing for sure, xfce definitely requires sox, so why wasn't sox merged when I merged xfce?

But i think it is a good idea to make it runtime dependant on sox if eighter oss or alsa is in use. achim~ > Collins Richey > Denver Area > Gentoo_rc5 XFCE > > _______________________________________________ > gentoo-dev mailing list > gentoo-dev@cvs.gentoo.org > http://cvs.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
