I finally got around to upgrading from 9.3 to 10.0 and I'm having an issue I hope someone can clear up for me. Festival stopped working, it complains that /dev/dsp doesn't exist (and it's right, no /dev/dsp* files show up).
Now, I can do rcalsasound restart from root and /dev/dsp will magically appear, but on a re-boot of the system, it disappears again. Some googling around came up with one solution that seems to work, adding the code below to the /etc/init.d/alsasound script in the start section. if [ ! -c /dev/dsp ]; then mknod -m 0666 /dev/dsp c 14 3 $0 restart fi That seems like a kludge though, since it doesn't really address whatever is really wrong. Is anyone aware of a better solution?
