Bug#167897: wavtools: Poor error messages when unable to open DSP
Package: wavtools
Version: 1.3.2-8
Severity: normal
When wavp is unable to open the DSP, it gives somewhat-less-than-ideal
errors. IE, if someone is already using the DSP, it should say its busy,
and not just that it cannot initialize the DSP.
pen("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY) = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy)
ioctl(-1, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
ioctl(-1, SOUND_PCM_READ_BITS, 0xbffff9f8) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
ioctl(-1, SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS, 0xbffff9f8) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
ioctl(-1, SOUND_PCM_READ_RATE, 0xbffff9f8) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
ioctl(-1, SNDCTL_DSP_GETBLKSIZE, 0x8049e60) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
ioctl(-1, SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC, 0) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
write(2, "Cannot initialize DSP\n", 22Cannot initialize DSP
The same thing happens if the user doesn't have permission to write to
the DSP.. the kernel returns "permission denied", and so should the app
to the user.
