Sound On Titchylinux

Just to add to this thread.

The reason you will have problems with sound on an OABI rootfs with Angstrom kernel is because ALSA doesnt contain the right magic to allow both ABI to function at same time. The rest of the kernel does and this is why everything else works
fine.

I found this out about a year ago when I was working for Wolfson :-)

  Thanks for the plain and straightforward explanation. So the way to go is to have Oabi kernel and Oabi rootfs or Eabi kernel and Eabi rootfs. There are several routes that can be followed to either of those two goals.  

Which route to follow?? Either will require me to learn a lot more about linux, kernels, modules and developing.  All to the good!  

Thanks again for the input.

Well if you have time, then you can always use make-kpkg on zaurus under debian to build either OABI or EABI kernels just by change the .config. The packages/linux/linux.inc will show you how. Once youve built packages they work just like
any other debian packages.
