/dev/audio and /dev/dsp are part of the OSS emulation from ALSA, which doesn't get loaded automatically by the kernel (most things don't need OSS anymore). Try "modprobe snd-pcm-oss" if you have that kernel module. If you want that all the time, add this to /etc/modprobe.conf so that loading snd-pcm (done by the kernel) will pull in snd-pcm-oss: install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe -i snd-pcm; /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss > Other Problem: > When starting krec, it says Synth_STEREO_COMPRESSOR aRts module > (artsmodulessynth.so.0) is missing. I don't know about that one. It would be better on the blfs-support mailing list if anyone doesn't see this. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
