I followed the wiki to the letter and all goes well up to the step where I execute the ismod cmd.
BUt again I suspect it's because there are several snd entries listed, nothing with 'oss' in the list but there is a /dev/dsp 
 
I suspect you misunderstand my entry on the /boot folder,  I only want to make a backup copy of the folder, just in case the Kernel becomes corrupted during the installation for the new components.
 
I wish I could say I know what I am doing when it comes to installing a pbx application and all it's sub components, but I am quite new to this technology.
 
it's one thing to build and install an application, which I am quite comfortable with.
When the build and/or installation fails, such is the case with skypopen,  then I am entering an unknown area.
 
Since this is a "production" server I need to thread carefully, such is the question on using a virtual machine as a test build/install....

 Even though I had errors in the skypopen build process, I tried the install.pl script
It resulted in more errors.

you need to follow strictly the wiki page, step by step:

1) build ALL the thingies (included skypopen.ko oss driver kernel module) - without errors
2) run the install.pl script
3) run the startup script created by the install.pl script

the /boot directory has nothing to do with it, leave it alone.

your alsa install will probably create the /dev/dsp each reboot. So, you need to run the startup script that will be created by the install script after each reboot and before FreeSWITCH.

Please follow strictly step by step, or know exactly what you are doing ;) :

at this last link, read the entire Linux subsection, at least until the "windows" subsection begins, and you'll find peace and joy!

Big concern is if I am able to sucessfully run the insmod (after disabling other snd devices) will doing so permanently disable them?  I'm thinking I need to make a backup of the /boot folder.   Any other folder that I need to address?

please use the automatic installer (install.pl) it will do it all for you

if not using automatic installer, do something similar to:

#Unload possible ALSA sound modules that would conflict with our OSS fake module
rmmod snd_pcm_oss
rmmod snd_mixer_oss
rmmod snd_seq_oss
sleep 1
#Create the inode our fake sound driver will use
mknod /dev/dsp c 14 3
#Load our OSS fake module
insmod /usr/local/freeswitch/skypopen/skypopen-sound-driver-dir/skypopen.ko

this will work

Explanation is: your alsa installation creates automatically /dev/dsp for compatibility with OSS, but you do not need it, if you are using ALSA. (You would need it to use alsa from OSS application, but this is not what you need).

Hello,
 
New to list & appologies if this is the wrong place to post questions.
 
Assuming this is the place to be, here is a question.
 
Whet I get to the build step for skypopen
"make clean; make; insmod ./skypopen.ko; mknod /dev/dsp c 14 3"
 
I get an error with the insmod cmd,  resource / device busy
 
 
I think it's caused due to having several snd entries listed via the
"lsmod |grep snd"
 
The machine is question is a media, database and email server.
And the media server component requires the use of ALSA components.
 
Does this requirement prohibit the use of the skype component in Freeswitch or do I just need to prevent the snd modules from loading to complete the kernel mod? Then re enable snd modules at next boot.
 
 
If this is the case any suggestions?   Maybe running FS in a Vbox to provide the functionality?
Or do I need a dedicated box just running linux and FS components?
 
current machine is fedora 14 x64 on a 4 core xeon @ 3ghz w/7 gig memory,  w/ 35 % process load average
 
thanks
 
 
BTW: my desired configuration
 
analog land line to Cisco SPA3102 router connected to the FS server with 4 extensions registered.
outbound local calls router to analog line, 1+ area code out bound calls routed to skype.
Incoming calls routed to all extensions, unanswered calls set to a ivr to 1. leave voice mail or 2.forward to cell phone (via skype connection)
 
any of this not do-able?
