Re: /dev/dsp not found: KDE/ALSA
The things is, I ran snddevices when I did the original install.
I think the can't find /dev/dsp message is more of a complaint about
nothing functioning being there; /dev/dsp is a link to /dev/dsp0 for
me:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 21 2000 /dev/dsp -> /dev/dsp0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Dec 21 2000 /dev/dsp0
I presume the link itself is always there.
