[Pkg-oss4-maintainers] Bug#690574: oss4-base: depends on linux-sound-base

[Steven Chamberlain]

Hi,

As far as I can tell, linux-sound-base ships only two files that are of
interest to oss4-base:

/lib/linux-sound-base/noALSA.modprobe.conf
/lib/linux-sound-base/noOSS.modprobe.conf

oss4-base needs those so it can install symlinks to them.


They are auto-generated from:

debian/ALSA-module-list
debian/OSS-module-list

by the alsa-driver source package's debian/rules.  So I guess that the
oss4 source package could just build+ship those itself, perhaps even as
regular files instead of symlinks.


Also I'm curious if, once the dependency on linux-sound-base is dropped,
maybe oss4-base would become useful to kFreeBSD or Hurd (providing tools
like ossplay etc.).

Regards,
