No /dev/dsp in Lenny

2009-05-09 Thread Martin McCormick 
I installed Lenny from the latest CD image and things are mostly
fantastic. I have never had so much stuff just work right from
the start. The CS3246 on-board sound chip came right up. amixer
and aplay as well as mplayer and mpg123 all work but there is no
/dev/dsp device.

I need it for some voice-grade applications I wrote and
for general experimentation.

A google search turned up more folks whose applications
such as skype wouldn't run for lack of /dev/dsp but I never
found any good answers.

Is there a way to get /dev/dsp back without killing what
is working?

Thank you.

Load the snd_pcm_oss kernel module.  The easiest way to do this
automatically is to install the oss-compat package.

It works like a charm. Thank you!
