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.

-u

-L<path>
