NAME

       ossdetect - Open Sound System audio device detection program.

SYNOPSIS

       ossdetect [-diuv] [-m<mode>] [-L<path>]

DESCRIPTION

       The  ossdetect  application performs automatic detection of soundcards.
       The  application  looks  at  the  $OSSETCDIR/device.list  and  performs
       automatic  detection.  It  will  create  a  file  with  the list of the
       configured  drivers  in  $OSSETCDIR/installed_drivers.   OSSETCDIR   is
       decided by reading /etc/oss.conf, and defaults to /etc/oss4.

       The  Input  Multiplexer  driver (IMUX) is not configured by default and
       can be added to the OSS configuration using the -i option.

OPTIONS

       -d     Create device file links.

       -i     Adds the oss_imux driver.

       -m<mode>
              Create nodes with permissions set to octal <mode>.

       -u     Adds the oss_userdev driver.

       -v     Verbose output.

       -L<path>
              Use <path> as root directory for OSS files.  Default: Path  from
              /etc/oss.conf, followed by /usr/lib/oss.
