Re: sound on pismo

I had to put something like this in /etc/devfsd.conf. You will probably
need it.. well if you are using devfs.

# sound
REGISTER sound/.* MKOLDCOMPAT
UNREGISTER sound/.* RMOLDCOMPAT
REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio rw-rw----

Otherwise you will have to make sure you /dev/dsp has the right
permissions, and problably /dev/mixer too etc.

I installed mp3blaster on my G4 power mac and it plays mp3's fine, alas
only through the internal speaker. Dmesg says I have:

PowerMac Tumbler DMA sound driver rev 016 installed
Core driver edition 01.06 : PowerMac Built-in Sound driver edition 00.07
Write will use 4 fragments of 32768 bytes as default

I think this has come up a number of times before so if someone could
point me in the general direction of how to turn off the internal speaker
and turn on the output so the mains speakers can play.

Thanks.

With xmms I get 'Could'nt open audio'
and in Gnome's settings i hear nothing when I click on Play
for sounds events.
What should I check for ?
