/dev/dsp

Hey group.

I get an error when starting up kde that says that sound cannot be
initialized because it cannot open /dev/dsp.  I tried looking for a man
page on dsp but there wasn't any.  I assume that it has something to do
with the file permissions on /dev/dsp and that all I have to do is to use
chmod on the file, but I don't want to mess anything up.  I have included
an ls -l of /dev/dsp*.
