Jason- It sounds like you need to run the "install" script in the LTSP-esd-alsa package again. If you updated LTSP 4.2 recently, it may have overwritten the changes that that install script does.
Since the LTSP-esd-alsa package should have the thin clients using ALSA rather than OSS for sound, you should not see any /dev/dsp errors on startup. (/dev/dsp is only used in OSS). If you see these messages, it means that the LTSP-esd-alsa package is not installed properly nad should be re-installed. In particular, you need to make sure that the "rc.sound" file that comes with the package is installed to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.sound HTH, -Gadi On Sun, 2006-10-29 at 13:16 -0500, Jason A.
