I was trying it as root. The permissions are RW for root,
group and others.
More info: Going the Preferences -> Sound -> Sound Server
route, I can successfully start the sound server if I
choose Network Audio System as the Sound I/O method. If I
choose Autodetect or Open Sound System, I get the "No such
device" message.
However, if I choose Network Audio System and then try to
start noatun, I get Connecting/Starting aRts soundserver
failed. Make sure that artsd is configured properly.
I reckon that I screwed up during installation. How do I
go about configuring artsd (or even just seeing whether it
is installed)?
Thanks for the help.
