Hello! Sorry for posting the whole message on the list w/o snipping, but I think some parts of the thread did not make it into the mailing list and now I really have no ideas anymore what is going wrong here :(. KDE doesn't recognize /dev/dsp but in fact, everything else seems to be ok etc... Has anyone had issues like these with alsa 0.9.0b3 or similar or does anyone know what the problem really is caused by?
Cheers, Stephan P.S.: Ross, sorry that I have not replied for so long but I've had lots of stress the last days :(.
