The problem is that the recordin programs I've used say they cannot open 
/dev/dsp, and, indeed, when I ls /dev I find that there is no /dev/dsp/
making the changes mentioned a few posts ago does indeed give me a 
/dev/dsp, but then none of the usual audio programs (like xmms and 
kaffeine) provide any sound.  Would the existence of /dev/dsp set all 
the volume controls to zero?  And would they mysteriously reset to 
their usable values when I undo the changes and reboot without a 
/dev/dsp?

There's something I don't understand here.
