But what is your problem with /dev/dsp? Are you sure that the 'fancy'
permissions are causing it?
Yes. I read several messages on this list that said applications are
not working if they are sending data to /dev/dsp. I have this problem
too. If you look at the permission with ls -l it has my login then root
and then that stupid sticky bit thing. When I call /dev/dsp with a GUI
device the permissions are changed it seems.
I think your problem is much more likely to be that another application
is already using /dev/dsp
What is the output of '/usr/sbin/lsof /dev/dsp' when you have this
problem?
It just stops with no output.
A better solution is to configure applications to use ALSA so
that you can have multiple sound sources playing simultaneously.
Alsa mixer is used by this application. It should work but I have a bug
in on this too.
