Re: emu10k1 troubles...

["Jonathan D. Proulx" <jon@ai.mit.edu>]

To a previous question about /dev, I don't usually use devfs on this
machine but to findout what the kernel was seeing:

[jon@charlotte jon]$ ls /mnt/sound/
dsp  dsp1  midi  mixer

Now to see what of this is really in /dev:
[jon@charlotte jon]$ ls -l /dev/{dsp,dsp1,midi,mixer}
ls: /dev/midi: No such file or directory
crw-rw----    1 root     user      14,   3 Nov 30  2000 /dev/dsp
crw-rw----    1 root     user      14,  19 Nov 30  2000 /dev/dsp1
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     user      14,   0 Nov 30  2000 /dev/mixer

[jon@charlotte jon]$ groups
user rt systems aries sysadmin uucp

Note root has the same trouble

I got the latest from creative and built against the running kernel,
buth the stock 2.4.6 and the creative modules exhibit the same
problem.

Oh, yes cut too much

Yup:

:Does something like:
:# cat some_sound.wav > /dev/dsp

Nope, no complaints and no sound.  I just discovered /dev/dsp1 in
responding to these messages, wouldn't it be clever if that's all my
trouble is.  Unfortunately I won't be able to test this untill
tomorrow.
