Possible to get old oss modules without compiling entire kernel ?

[yossarianuk]

Hi.

At present I need the oss modules (some old games I play require them at present...).

I can compile a kernel no problem (presently running one with the snd-pcm-oss + snd-seq-oss modules (and changed to run at 1000Hz frequency...) using a combination of the instructions

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile and http://blog.avirtualhome.com/compile...-ubuntu-11-10/ (I use the linux-source package - I make a .i5 varient..)

Rather than have to compile an entire kernel is it possible to just compile the missing oss modules from the kernel headers package?

I came across this - http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.28.3...ld/modules.txt but that didn't excatly make sense.

Is there an easy way to add the modules (I am happy to compile the kernel but seeing as I am just essentially adding the 2 missing oss modules I thought it may be 'overkill'

Pulse audio has an oss wrapper called padsp that you can use. In the menu editor find your game and simply add padsp before the command.

padsp /path/to/game

See padsp man page. Worth a try.

Hi

Thanks for the advice, that commanid has never worked with this game at least....

I get

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pulseaudio/libpulsedsp.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

compiling a kernel with the modules works I just would liuke to avoid the hastle of doing so...

Cheers
