I may have missed a bit of this thread, but looking back through my inbox I
found a reference to /dev/dsp. It said, if you are you are using OSS (open
sound system) /dev/dsp should be automatically created on bootup. For Alsa,
you need to have the alsa-oss package installed.
Creating a /dev/dsp is probably going to be a waste of time, as when you
reboot it won't be recreated.
OSS is pretty much deprecated, so to be able to use apps that need OSS, you
need to install the alsa-oss package.
alsa-oss wasn't available at first on FC5, but I see that it turned up in
extras later on, and am presuming it's available for FC6 as well.
2¢ worth of perhaps useless info.
Nigel.
