After a dselect update on 25th March my sound has stopped working I use devfsd, and this is at the limit of my knowledge but...
Applications tend to access devices like /dev/dsp in /etc/modutils/1devfsd there are a series of aliases that do alias /dev/sound sound-slot-0 alias /dev/dsp /dev/sound and I have added in my own file with (amongst other things) alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1 [this is all propagated into /etc/modules.conf by update-modules] SO in theory access to /dev/dsp should through the aliases end up accessing module emu10k1 BUT is doesn't - the module doesn't appear to be being loaded. What is puzzling me is that there is a directory /dev/sound (empy because emu10k1 is not loaded) and (broken) symlinks from /dev/dsp etc to /dev/sound/dsp Because /dev/sound is a directory it appears that the "alias /dev/sound sound-slot-0" is not taking effect. It was working a few days ago, but /etc/modutils/1devfsd has been updated (timestamp is 25th March) and now it doesn't. Can someone help me understand what is happening here and how I can make it work again.
