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>.

       -g<group>
              Create nodes with group ownership set to <group>.

       -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.
