Open Sound System supports Multiprocessor Kernel

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.3

OSS versions on SuSE Linux 6.3:

You'll find the following OSS versions in SuSE Linux 6.3; in the series pay:
opso: OSS für Single Prozessor Kernel (Version 3.8.1z-1)
opsod_smp: OSS für Multiprozessor Kernel (Version 3.8.1z-0)
opsod_up: Demo des OSS für Singel Prozessoren (Version 3.9.2x-1)
opsodsmp: Demo des OSS für Mehrprozessormaschinen (Version 3.9.2x-0)

Symptom:

You'd like to use your sound card with a Multiprocessor (Symmetric Multi Proccesor) machine.

Solution:

Open Sound System for Linux is a commercial sound driver.  It is fully compatible with the sound driver in the kernel (OSS/Free).  This Demo of the newest driver version (3.9.2x) available at the time of release of SuSE Linux 6.3 functions only for a limited time.  The newest version can be found at http://www.opensound.com.

Installing Open Sound System:

Please Note!  This package includes Commercial Software.  After installation be sure to read the license found in the directory /usr/doc/packages/VersionName (in this example "opsodsmp").

Here's an example using the version "opsodsmp":

Please Note!  OSS requires a specific kernel version!  The OSS versions included on the SuSE CDs will (normally) only function with the specific kernel version for which it was compiled.  If you'd like to use a different kernel version than that required you'll need to use a different driver as well.
