Should be 'll /dev/dsp' an return somethin like this:
(try 'alias ll' in a terminal)
tom $ ll /dev/dsp
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Mar 13 19:56 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp
| | | |
x_ecutable and r_itable by root |
| same for allowed groups |
| |
but is only x_ecutable for user(s) |
.... and dsp is linked to
the sound service.
So the important bits are the last -x in the permissions, and
the link from dsp to sound. They are an absolute must have. The
command you cited, 'll -L /dev/dsp' isn't particularly useful,
other than to list the dsp device and that it's owned by root.
