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.
