On my system i actually have 2 audio devices though (pcm0: on-board CMedia chip, pcm1: an SB Live!) Accordingly /dev/dsp0* belongs to CMedia and /dev/dsp1* belongs to the SB Live!. On default these applications try to open /dev/dsp. On -STABLE systems /dev/dsp is simply a symlink to the appropriate /dev/dspX* (X = your prefered device node: 0, 1 etc.) on -CURRENT though /dev/dsp seems to be conjured up by the devfs system and i have simply been unable to find a way to make it point my prefered device node ... in my case /dev/dsp1. Am i missing something obvious here ... or is it simply not possible on -CURRENT to do something similair to -STABLE ? -- Pascal Hofstee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
