One more comment: I continue to get "/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy" when trying to use sound. If I "cat message.au > /dev/audio" even as root, I get the message "/dev/audio Device or resource busy".
Also, reading the sound HowTo has not been helpful, it's all well and good if things *work*, but not when things don't. But it did suggest the contents of /dev/sndstat, so here that is: > OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130 > Load type: Driver loaded as a module > Kernel: Linux stephani 2.2.18pre21 #1 Sat Nov 18 18:47:15 EST 2000 i586 > Config options: 0 > > Installed drivers: > > Card config: > > Audio devices: > 0: ESS ES1869 AudioDrive (rev 11) (3.01) > > Synth devices: > > Midi devices: > > Timers: > 0: System clock > > Mixers: > 0: Sound Blaster -- The Road goes ever on and one, down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone and I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.
