[PlanetCCRMA] Self-configuring system Was:*Solved* Midisport 8x8/s Was:Chasing my tail with ALSA

[Michael]

Hi all...

This is weird.

Today I turn on my system, and guess what? I don't have my Midisport 8x8 
in the ALSA Patchbay anymore. So, I do a little investigating, only to 
find lsmod showing snd-seq-oss, and snd-mixer-oss in the setup again.  I 
wonder what causes this? One thing I notice, is that Kudzu will pause a 
bit on boot, look for new hardware, and then continue to load. Could 
this be the problem?

Cheers,
-Mike
