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.
