Make sure to install the appropriate development +packages to allow the modules to be built. + +Building the OSS module is only advised on non-Linux systems as OSS support +in Linux is only provided as an ALSA emulation layer. To build the OSS module, +you will need to pass --enable-oss=yes to configure. + +As the modules are loaded dynamically each time an application utilizes the +library, it is possible to provide the modules in separate distribution +packages. + +How to report bugs +================== + +Bugs should be reported to the MATE bug tracking system on GitHub: + + https://github.com/mate-desktop/libmatemixer/issues/ |
