OSS from 4Front Tech problems
I have sound working fine as the root user, but it is screwed as any
other. I am using commercial OSS as I have NEVER been able to get any of
the other stuff to work. I presented this problem to the tech folks at
4Front and their answer was to change the permissions on /dev/dsp by
using the command chmod a+rw /dev/dsp* this did not make any
difference. just for the sake of being thorough I also tried changing
every other sound related device to the same and even tried doing chmod
a+rwx /dev/dsp* and all the others. It still only works as root. I'm
puzzled. I am using kernel 2.2.13 on a slink pure stable system (not the
same one as before Brian :-)) I use Gnome session loaded at boot into
the icewm-gnome window manager. If I start soundon as root it will carry
over to the cdplayer and mixers that run in X and the mixer in gnome but
the Gnome cdplayer still doesn't connect (I think that's another
problem)
Sorry to be so long about this but to me any sound system should be
ubiquitous! Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
