Yes, baudline works extremely well with ALSA’s OSS emulation feature. Most Linux distibutions enable OSS sound driver emulation by default but if you build your own kernel you will need to set the following configuration options to YES: • CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y • CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y • CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y [Update June 2005] The Linux kernel 2.6.11 OSS emulation still has a mixer gain control problem with USB audio devices. A quick solution to this problem is to use an ALSA native mixer application. This mixer gain problem first appeared with kernel 2.6.8. Kernel 2.6.7 with ALSA 1.0.4 is known not to have this problem. [Update January 2006] Baudline reports that full duplex audio cards are half duplex. ALSA is passing erroneous information and this is an OSS emulation bug. Baudline uses the duplex label for information purposes only. The only sure test of audio card full duplex functionality to try it (record with the Tone Generator window open).
