Unfortunately this package is not working with the latest kernels (6.4) and likely requires an upstream update - if the nonfree drivers are not needed then oss or oss-git should work.

@deathrashergr: Thank you for the note. Looking on the OSS forums it seems this will need an update (possibly upstream) for 6.0+ kernels: http://ossnext.trueinstruments.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5904

@seawright Thanks! Updated (4.2_2020-1) for this new release - OSS v4.2 build 2020.

@seawright: I'm not sure it actually makes any difference in Arch Linux since around 2013: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Frequently_asked_questions#Does_Arch_follow_the_Linux_Foundation's_Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard_(FHS)? https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries-move-to-usrbin-requiring-update-intervention/ https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2012-March/022625.html

@alexdw I am new to Arch Linux but have quickly realised that its ethos is different to that of other distributions. I am however perplexed that someone (or a general consensus) has deemed it necessary to move system programmes (as indicated by their appearance in section 8 of the man database) such as ossdetect and ossdevlinks from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin and wondered if you (or someone else) could explain the rationale behind that decision and whether it should still apply.

See my reply to Mowgli's post on Open Sound System forum: http://ossnext.trueinstruments.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5882#p21751

alexdw commented on 2019-08-31 21:23 (UTC)

This suggests another upstream patch/release will be required to make oss work with 5.2+ kernels: http://ossnext.trueinstruments.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5882

Midna commented on 2019-08-27 01:34 (UTC)

Please note that the current build of OSS v4 (OSS v4.2 build 2019) does not appear to function for 5.2+ kernels.

For oss-nonfree, the error happens during soundon. See error details at: https://pastebin.com/mxU9sgbg The log actually lists every kernel module as being "invalid ELF objects", although this might not be the main culprit.

However, the package still works for the linux-lts kernel (currently 4.19.68-lts) up to 5.1+ kernels (tested for 5.1.19).
