then please consider this a wishlist bug to have teh program actually say something if it can't successfully open the device instead of silently failing. i just happened to know about esddsp and the idiosyncracies of some sound cards, but others probably don't.
or... since /usr/games/armegetron is already a shell script wrapper, you could possibly attempt to open the device yourself and if unsuccessful call esddsp within the wrapper. or reject it, whatever. -- sound does not work by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/55130 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
