Public bug reported: After a Lucid=>Maverick upgrade, I have no /dev/dsp devices.
I use a Pinnacle Dazzle DVC100 to get video and audio from an analog source (like old VHS player). I use mplayer to visualize that and mencoder to capture the video and audio. In my mplayer or mencoder command lines, I used /dev/dsp2 to get the audio stream. Since my upgrade, I haven't any /dev/dsp* in my /dev/ directory and so I don't know how to get this audio stream. For example, here is the output of my mplayer command : ================================================== $ mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:norm=SECAM:audiorate=44100:immediatemode=0:forceaudio:adevice=/dev/dsp2:device=/dev/video0 MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.4.5 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control. Playing tv://. TV file format detected.
