I've just started to get sound working and I don't really understand devfs and how it works. When I use mplayer it tells me it can't find /dev/dsp. Now I can kldload the appropriate sound card driver module (I have a Creative 5880 AudioPCI adapter) and it always worked splendidly under stable. So there are really 2 questions: 1 What is /dev/dsp and how do I make it exist? and 2 How can I get a deeper understanding of devfs, beyond the man pages? I'd really appreciate it if you'd copy me, as I'm not subscribed to this list. -- Derek Tattersall dlt@mebtel.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
