Hello, Quite a few packages support only OSS, not ALSA. Nowadays there's quite little probability that your sound board only has an OSS driver, and so there is quite little probability that quite a few packages work out the box.
Of course, there are solutions: fix the apps, load snd_pcm_oss, or use alsa-oss. The first one is just wishes, I'm usually just doing the second one (the third one is not really convenient), but it's not necessarily so obvious for a beginner that he could do it to fix his "no /dev/dsp" error message. Are there plans on this issue? Drop packages? Always load snd_pcm_oss? Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
