Indicator applet and sound manager for OSS sound system

  • 772

Alsa wasn't functioning well on my laptop. The open source OSS sound system also failed to install. So I installed the closed source version of OSS and it is working fine. But the volume indicator applet in the system tray disappeared after installing OSS. The sound manager in System -> Preferences is giving an error. I tried to do sudo apt-get install oss4-gtk but it also tries to install `oss4-base'(which is open source version). How can I install the volume indicator applet and sound manager for closed source version of OSS?

sound applet oss-sound-system

    The backend is tied to a pulse sink, so you need to load the oss module in /etc/pulse/default.pa instead of using udev-detect.
