Open Sound System

IMHO in case of OSS it is the problem because it lacks a function fundamental for home users and I imagine home users are the largest group using sound on linux.

Well, I am running into the risk of talking about things I know little about, but I am guessing OSS is being developed in other departments anyway and I would think suspend/resume is such a major thing, the developing team would want do drop whatever else they are doing and get it done first.

I see. Is there any roadmap that includes suspend implementation?

I found OSS4 to be by far the most superior audio system on linux. Therefore, I cannot fathom the following: Why won't the developers get it to support suspend/resume?!? Lack of this functionality makes OSS4 virtually useless for most laptops! And yes, I am familiar with the infamous 'workaround' bu...

Vicious circle. OSS really needs to get laptop-minded if it is to replace ALSA. If you pretend to be an ALSA expert, you should, perhaps, know a few Linux commands, such as command "kill" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_(command) If you hate "command line", you may better inst...

Well, instead, I could use a command to restart oss after resume. Is there such command?

Two things. I often need to hibernate my laptop but after I do so, there is no more sound after resume. As I understand it, OSS needs to be put down before system suspends but soundoff command will not work if there is any sound-using programme running (mixer, for example). Is there a way to force i...

Well, at least there is the ability to manually mute speakers.

In the meantime, however, I still have yet another problem - there is no sound after system resume from hibernation.

I am not sure I understand correctly. Jacksense, which is one of the most basic function of every laptop, does not work in OSS4 even though it works in annoying ALSA?

Ok, let me clarify. After erasing /usr/lib/oss/etc/mixer.save, the chief problem is:

I have sound from both speakers and headphone jack. I want speakers to mute as soon as I plug in headphones.

I did this all and I still have no sound from the jack.

There is new position "jack-black", but I can only select mode: 'imput' or 'pcm2'
I cannot see mute anywhere.

Hmmm, I think it helped.

But I still have no sound on headphone jack.

Scratch that. Now mic doesn't work.

Hmm, after that my jack stopped working at all and I can only hear sound from my speakers at all times.

Microphone is recording fine (as it has before) but it is in recording mode at all times, which causes the pitching noise when I put the mic closer to speakers (while closing the lid).
