Thanks
to everybody who answered my questions regarding the non-working
/dev/audio, dev/dsp on my SB16 under linux-2.0.15 .
It proved indeed to be "Device or resource busy"!
NAS was to blame...and me of course!
I found it out, after having recompiled and rebooted the kernel tausend
times. Finally I overcommed my tire and examined the kernel boot and daemon
log messages and see, there it was..."NAS starting...".
I updated Debian recently and have unwillingly marked NAS for installation,
without first asking myself whether I need the raw /dev/audio and
/dev/dsp.
Thanks Ian, your suggestion would have brought me to the point
15 minutes earlier, but I was not on the Net at that time :-) . Thanks
anyway!

PS: It's really very relaxing to know that such a great list stands behind
you, when you are in trouble! Keep the good work!
