The problem is that the recordin programs I've used say they cannot open /dev/dsp, and, indeed, when I ls /dev I find that there is no /dev/dsp/ making the changes mentioned a few posts ago does indeed give me a /dev/dsp, but then none of the usual audio programs (like xmms and kaffeine) provide any sound. Would the existence of /dev/dsp set all the volume controls to zero? And would they mysteriously reset to their usable values when I undo the changes and reboot without a /dev/dsp? There's something I don't understand here. -- hendrik > > -- > Benjam? > http://blog.bitassa.cat > > > > . > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
