The ossdetect application performs automatic detection of soundcards. The application looks at the /usr/local/lib/oss/etc/device.list and performs automatic detection. It will create a file with the list of the configured drivers in /usr/local/lib/oss/etc/installed_drivers.

The Input Multiplexer driver (IMUX) is not configured by default and can be added to the OSS configuration using the -i option.
