Hmm. /dev/sound/dsp doesn't exist either, but I find: |
22 |
|
23 |
prh@wstn ~ $ ls -lL /dev/dsp? |
24 |
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 19 Mar 4 13:40 /dev/dsp1 |
25 |
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 35 Mar 4 13:40 /dev/dsp2 |
26 |
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 51 Mar 4 13:40 /dev/dsp3 |
27 |

Now I find I've somehow omitted alsasound from the default runlevel; |
29 |
putting it in there and /etc/init.d/alsasound start gives /dev/dsp as a |
30 |
link to /dev/sound/dsp. So I've answered my own question, but I hope |
31 |
I've also exposed another little fact. |
