If teamspeak uses OSS, won't it work with ALSA OSS emulation? Everything
else seems to (in other words, ALSA OSS emulation has always worked fine
for me).

Hi,
Since this came up the other day we might as well try using it. If
Holly's suggestion of jsut using the OSS emulation built into the
kernel doesn't work by itself, then you hav another option available.
emerge alsa-oss and then run 'aoss teamspeak' and give that a try.

Good luck,
Mark

I've been using teamspeak with ALSA without troubles.

Teamspeak is just fine. Although it made a big differnce for my SB
Audigy Platinum compiling ALSA into the kernel (good) versus using the
ALSA drivers (bad).

by "versus using the ALSA drivers" you mean compiling them as modules?

No I meant emerging alsa-drivers. But to be honest that was at least 6
months ago. So maybe they're much more reliable now.

Yes it works with OSS emulation but the sound is far from good (even
with the highest bitrate).

That aside, do ALSA support the latest audigy (hardware mixing of
course)? And some kind of 3D positional algorithm like EAX?

I have an nforce2 chipset (Soundstorm) and everywhere they saying that
the driver from nvidia are terrible. I'm thinking in buying a new sound
card and I wanted complete ALSA support (surround sound etc...). What
is the best choice?

Cheers,
Erwin

P.S. I know this is not about voice comm. tool anymore but it's still
sound heh?

In the future I suggest that you don't hijack a topic, but what I
suggest AC 97 compatible sound card, because they are fully supported
under ALSA (including surroundsound and such) and they are somewhat
standard. I don't know however where to find a list of cards that use a
AC 97 compatible chipset.
