FYI,
I am typing this from a livecd boot of DSL version 0.8 and am using alsa to listen to music with xmms.
Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how I got this thing working and I will lose everything at the next reboot.
I will try to figure things out and hopefully create an alsa extension soon.
Here are some things that I have done that I am pretty sure helped:
Boot up dsl with the "dsl alsa" boot command. This avoids the activation of bad non-alsa sound drivers.
Installed the gnu utils dsl package
Tar'ed up the alsa files from knoppix 3.4 livecd and untar'ed them in DSL using the mydsl button as user 'root' in emelfm.
Replaced the symlink /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig with one that points to /sbin/alsa_init file
apt-got the following packages from unstable: pciutils, libasound2, ncurses5, aumix, alsa-oss
exited fluxbox to text screen
sudo su to become root
/etc/knoppix-autoconfig
/etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig
exit
startx
Changed XMMS preferences to point to the ALSA driver.
Started up XMMS from commandline as user 'root' sudo xmms
started up wmix as user 'root'
[Update] I was able to get it to work as a regular user by changing permissions to the /dev/snd directory and also the directory contents. I also did /dev/dsp /dev/adsp type stuff but I believe it was the /dev/snd stuff that made it happen.
I probably missed something, but that's most of what I did.
Stay tuned.
