Hi all,

Brian, this email is regarding my bugreport, I send it to the list
cause maybe someone else can shed a light on this.
I found the cause of why gstreamer and friends aren't finding my
soundsystem as where osstest and catting a wave file to /dev/dsp0
works.

I did a 'truss rhytmbox' and came along this (no idea how I can track
this with dtrace as of yet, that'll be my next project):

/1:     open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK)           Err#2 ENOENT

So, apparently gstreamer expects /dev/dsp to be the sound device. It
isn't. At least not in oss-4.00-1009 build.
I am trying to downgrade oss now, to see if /dev/dsp was maybe
available in earlier versions.

For now, a work for me is to ln -s /dev/dsp0 to /dev/dsp. The mixer,
rhythmbox et all starts working after this.


Take care,

Patrick
