Sorry to keep pestering the list with my sound questions. I thought it would be better to send each one as separate message rather than dump only loosely related questions under one subject header.
After having enabled sound in the kernel, I went into dselect and installed a number of sound utilities in order to play around and see what the various packages did and which ones might be of interest to me. Now when I boot, I get a process named /usr/X11R6/bin/au running all the time. This is a slink to auvoxware. This ties up the sound devices in /dev so that if as a user I want to do something that uses sound, I can't because the device is busy. Does anyone know what auvoxware does and to which package it belongs ? I couldn't find a man page for either au or auvoxware. I went back to dselect, but couldn't find any mention of au or auvoxware in the sound package descriptions so I don't know which one to potentially remove from my system.
