Alias is aware that sound reproduction inside Maya (scrubbing and playback) doesn't work on many sound cards on Linux. At this time we must caution you that sound reproduction may not be adequate for your purposes. Sound playback does behave correctly on some cards and some on-board/built-in sound devices, and we are currently attempting to identify specific sound cards that provide better performance.
Soundblaster Live cards are currently known to provide inadequate performance for interactive sound playback - particularly scrubbing.
We are also aware that sound will not work on some sounds cards (e.g. Soundblaster 16) when another application is already using the sound system.

ALSA

ALSA stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.  It is a complete replacement for the existing sound architecture in Linux. It is geared toward high performance applications and is better suited to SMP machines.  It has emulation for the older OSS sound system that is standard in RedHat Linux.  Maya uses the OSS compatibility layer. If you are experiencing sound problems under linux, we recommend installing ALSA drivers.

• A three button mouse is required. At least 512 MB of RAM is required and 1024 MB or more is strongly recommended.Customers intending to license their Alias software based on an external network card should be aware that Alias does not support the use of these devices and cannot guarantee that software will operate correctly when licensed in this way.It may be possible to successfully use Maya with a non-qualified or partially qualified configuration, but support and maintenance programs will be subject to the Alias Support services guidelines.The configurations shown are subject to change, and additional qualified configurations may be added after qualification testing has been carried out.The graphics drivers specified in this table are the drivers that were used for the qualification process. While it may be possible to use Maya successfully on earlier or later drivers, Alias cannot guarantee their performance or behaviour.We do not recommend saving data directly from Maya to NFS or other remote mounted file systems. We strongly recommend that you save the files locally and then copy the data to the mounted storage system.When texture images are stored on systems remote from the rendering process; depending on network speed, specifications and load it is possible that the renderer may be unable to access a texture file on demand and may 'drop' individual textures on a frame by frame basis. To reduce this occurrence store textures on a system local to the rendering process.
• Be aware that with ALL dual monitor setups you will experience problems with window positioning - windows/menus not displaying on 2nd monitor, flipping back to the main monitor, etc. Dual Monitor use is therefore not recommended or supported at this time.
• KDE klipper is known to have focusing issues with Maya, which may contribute to application instability. We recommend removing the applet from the panel and editing the config file, ( ~/.kde/share/config/klipperrcv), to disable KDE klipper.

Maya may not run on systems that do not have a compatible runtime libraries, including glibc compiled with the __cxa_atexit option. Maya includes the C++ runtime libraries libstdc++.so.5, and libgcc_s.so.1 within the Maya "lib" directory, as well as the required Motif 2.2.3 runtime library libXm.so.3
