snd_dummy and X11 in VE

[Myatu]

Hello!

I'm running X11 in a VE (Debian 4.0 - debian-4.0-i386-minimal) with success, except for one thing: I can't get snd_dummy to work.

On the hypervisor, I have it setup already (since I can't do a modprobe within a VE):

# lsmod | grep snd
snd_dummy              23296  0
snd_pcm                95880  1 snd_dummy
snd_timer              35464  1 snd_pcm
snd                    77864  3 snd_dummy,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore              18208  1 snd
snd_page_alloc         19984  1 snd_pcm

However, X11 is oblivious to this... Is there a way to get that to work within a container? I'd rather not have a full-blown KVM for just this little thing...

Cant you simly use a sound daemon (esd)?

You can try to load the module on the host, then allow the container to access that device with "vzctl set VMID --devices ..." command.
