Quick alsa daemon question (Arch Linux)

[dedanna1029]

Okay, it's one way or the other in rc.conf for alsa:
http://www.cdavis.us/wiki/index.php/Ins ... ring_Audio shows an @ in front of alsa:

Code: Select all

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal !network netfs crond networkmanager @alsa)

However, on this page, it says:

Edit /etc/rc.conf and add "alsa" to the list of daemons to start on boot-up.

... not showing the ampersand.

Which is it, with or without the ampersand?

Thanks.

Never mind, answered my own question.

From rc.conf:

Code: Select all

# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
#   - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
#   - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background

Exactly!
@ prefix speeds up the boot
! disables it.
