Sound used to work on my computer (Mandrake 7.1).
After cooker updates it is broken for users and some progs (xmms,
plaympeg for example), but not for root :
# plaympeg moldau.mp3
plays a nice music, but
$ plaympeg moldau.mp3
gives a perm access error.
For xmms, it gives :
** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp):
Permission non accordée
(access denied, if you prefer).
I fixed it that way :
-------------------
- the user used to belong to the audio group, but not after cooker
update : I added it in /etc/group, line audio
- 'ls -l /dev/dsp' showed a strange
crw------- 1 root audio 14, 3 aoû 23 04:37 /dev/dsp
I changed it to read :
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 aoû 23 04:37 /dev/dsp
(audio should be able to do this, right ?)
And now : everything works fine.
(My cooker mirror is up to date, I hope the problem did not arise
because I made a dirty upgrade, with sometimes some --force --nodeps).
