It took me quite some time to get my sound card to play. This is
perhaps due to some incorrect info in the man page for pcm. But I do
not like to report it to gnats, as I am not sure I understand all
things involved. It may be my own stupidity.
Man pcm tells me to MAKEDEV snd1 (note *one*). I did. Sound card did
nothing in KDE. So I tried a simple audio program from the ports:
play. This complained about missing dsp. There was a dsp in my /dev:
dsp1 created by MAKEDEV snd1, including a link from dsp to dsp1.
As there is no man for dsp to read, I searched afar and anear until I
came upon ch. 5.4 of the handbook, which tells me to do MAKEDEV snd0
(note *zero*).
That did the trick. For play as well as for the KDE-media-player.
Can anyone enlighten me on this? TIA!
