Maybe these are just warnings, but since I'm not sure if they have impact on the system I'm reporting this as a bug. kernel: application realplay.bin uses obsolete OSS audio interface kernel: application nspluginviewer uses obsolete OSS audio interface kernel: application wine-preloader uses obsolete OSS audio interface kernel: application audacity uses obsolete OSS audio interface Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.8-1.521 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start any of following applications (wine, realplayer, audacity) 2.Look into /var/log/messages file Actual Results: There is inscription in /var/log/messages file: "application <appname> uses obsolete OSS audio interface" Expected Results: nothing Additional info:
the kernel spews these messages to so that the owners of the programs get notified they haven't converted to the new ALSA interfaces yet. the goal for fedora is to move all our own software to the new alsa interfaces; this is a debug trap to make sure we catch everything
