[solved] oss daemon on boot

hello,
first post, it is about OSS. I've been having problems with ALSA crashing misteriously after a while, well i think it has something to do with multiple apps running(ie firefox(flash)+ mpd-Sonata ...). Anyway, the thing is that i try to load OSS module at system startup and the message "oss module not found" appears. Then, when i'm already logged in, i load it the rc.d way:   #/etc/rc.d/oss start   
and there is no problem, loads fine.
Any ideas? I've been searching around the forums and I found a similar cause with 'mpd', but no solution so far. Ah!, and i'm having this same 'problem' with mpd as well, just to let you know
thank you!

Re: [solved] oss daemon on boot

Are you using OSS or oss in the daemons array? It should be lowercase.

"oss module not found"

Put it in the daemons array not the modules array

Re: [solved] oss daemon on boot

oh my god,
i'm ashamed to have asked for such simple thing. The rc.conf file could not be more clear: "DAEMONS" array and "MODULES" array...
yes, both oss and mpd are daemons so, obviously i should have put them in the daemons array,

thank you sand_man : D
