This question has been plaquing me, and I don't know where to post it, but this is supposed to be for "questions," so here goes: I have OSS demo for my sound system, and it appears to be configured properly. I can cat .wavs to /dev/dsp0 or /dev/dsp1 and get a (predictably bad) output. Now, here's the problem. My system came with /dev/dsp a symbolic link to /dev/sndstat and /dev/mixer a symbolic link to /dev/mixerstat. Well, I obviously can't cat audio to the sound status device, and dev/mixerstat doesn't even exist! (MAKEDEV can't make it either). Of course all the sound programs I try to use don't work as a result of this mess. So, what should dev/mixer and dev/dsp be liks to? Thanks in advance for the help, and cc me 'cuz I'm not on the list. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
