Taking these applications into consideration, we can change the name to something else, for example, /dev/private_dsp, and it will be found by those applications. As for sadasupport, the change is trivial. And sadasupport is the only consumer of this device file in this phase. Do you think it a reasonable approach ? Best regards Freeman
