/dev/dsp is missing in my Debian Sid --I've used it one week ago with XMMS.
I've tried a oss-compat reinstallation, and have /dev/dsp again. But disappears with the system reboot. I've run alsaconf again. ALSA works fine. Any idea? Thanks :) Installed packages: $ dpkg -l "*oss*" | grep ^i | awk '{print $2, $3}' oss-compat 0.0.4 $ dpkg -l "*alsa*" | grep ^i | awk '{print $2, $3}' alsa-base 1.0.13-3 alsa-firmware-loaders 1.0.13-1 alsa-tools 1.0.13-1 alsa-utils 1.0.13-1 alsamixergui 0.9.0rc2-1-9 libsdl1.2debian-alsa 1.2.11-7 Kernel: $ uname -a Linux itaca 2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP Sun Dec 10 19:37:06 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux Regards, -- Benjamí http://blog.bitassa.cat .
