Package: audacity
Version: 1.2.4b-2.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
audacity tries to open /dev/dsp even though /dev/dsp2 is listed as
recording/playback device in ~/.audacity . Complains about error
initializing audio i/o layer and prevents playback/recording.
strace shows this:
open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
config file has:
PlaybackDevice=/dev/dsp2
RecordingDevice=/dev/dsp2
ln -s /dev/dsp2 /dev/dsp
solves this temporarily.
