Anyone else having the same trouble with recent releases and release candidates? I'm just an hda-intel alsa guy, i've had audio work before for certain.
Edit:
To be a bit explicit about what i've done:
Right now in that secondlife script, I uncommented the two lines that disable the non-alsa drivers, but still nothing.
I look in the startup, and SL thinks ALSA has started up ok

I never had much luck getting alsa to run smoothly for SL. And guess the checks are done in the ESD -> OSS -> ALSA order because the most stable is ESD.
It depends on your distribution but do a double check on any updates or packages you installed on your system recently. I've had them sneakily reset defaults for OSS drivers on me in the past.
Good Luck!

Same for me, ALSA doesn't appear to work. I don't run ESD, and disabling OSS the first time I tried it wouldn't work. So I just use the OSS emulation under ALSA, and that works, though it's not ideal. Perhaps a bug should be filed on this?

ESD comes first because that causes the least fatal problems, not because it's the best (in fact, it's kinda lame). |

I suggested that ESD actually worked better for me than OSS and ALSA. The reason why is that ESD actually insulated SL a bit from the card, ALSA crashed on me, and OSS locked out every other audio player.
If I started ESD, then SL, there's a little delay but I can hear Gaim messages come in (which goes through ALSA, as does ESD itself).
Is ESD piss-poor? Ask ESD's origional writer! He'd like to make it fully emulate a sound card and speed it up a bit.
