Re: ALSA, Tecra 8100, and sound devices
/ "A. Demarteau (linux rules!)" <linux@disnet.demon.nl> was heard to say:

Apparently :-)

Well, I don't see anything like that, nor does grovelling through
everything in the asla source tree (from alsa-cvsexport-2000-05-31.tar.bz2)
reveal anything that looks like it might create them.

Hmm. I don't have /dev/nsd, but I do have a /proc/asound/dev:
# ls -l /proc/asound/dev
total 0

I'd be happy enough to point mpg123 and other tools at the appropriate
device, but I don't even see a dspish thing in /proc/asound/dev.
Additionally, I don't see any flags or anything that I can set in the
alsa build process to turn on more "oss-compatiblity" than I already
have.
