I want to throw out another problem I am having in this Wheezy
upgrade: sound! I used to use ALSA with Squeeze, no problems.
After the upgrade, I am able to get sound in my browser, I can play
MP3 files, but I can't record and can't play wav: $ mpg321
radio.mp3(works fine) $ bplay radio.wavbplay: /dev/dsp: No such file
or directory$ I am not sure how to debug this one. I tried loading
the oss-compat package, and that hasn't changed things either. What
could have happened in the Squeeze->Wheezy upgrade to get rid
of /dev/dsp?
I'm not sure if this will help you, but I have to load the snd_pcm_oss
and snd_mixer_oss modules with modprobe to use mp3blaster. I'm not
familiar with bplay but maybe it needs those modules too.
Funnily enough, I was just reading up on sound in Linux. /dev/dsp is the
OSS emulation provided by ALSA
http://alsa.opensrc.org/OSS_emulation
bplay's code appears to have been written in '98 so probably OSS.
Options would be to review the url above to see what else you've missed
or switch to a newer player.
