Sigh, AFAIK dev cloning works by creating the device nodes when open()ed. Using 'ls /dev/dsp*' will not open() any devices, so nothing is created. He should use 'ls /dev/dsp0 /dev/dsp0.0' and then the devices should appear. Try it for yourself, do 'ls /dev/dsp*' then 'ls /dev/dsp.8' Not that anything usefull can be done with ls(1) to get sound :) Cheers, Ulrich Spoerlein -- It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak, and remove all doubt. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
