Comment 14 for bug 14851

Hi

I had a look at the dvd of the sarge I used, the version of alsa-base package
is: 1.0.4-3

As far as I remember in this distro (sarge) there was a file /etc/modprobe.conf
(not present anymore on hoary) in which I included the line options snd-via82xx
dxs_support=4 because without this the sound was cracking. This is the only
modification I did concerning alsa in my sarge!! Otherwise I installed alsa at
that time simply in installing the package alsa-base (straight forward prodecure
without any difficulties)

So I do not know if this information can be of interest and why the module
snd-seq isn't loaded on hoary.
But tell me if you want some additionnal information!! I am ready to help!!

Also concerning hoary I tried to use the default file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
with the line to load the module (install snd-seq modprobe ...) after the one
to load snd-via82xx but that didn't change anything! (may be logical to you but
I gave it try though)

Best regards, Brice
