Hehe: welcome to clonable devices :-) Notice that the major/minor is 3/27 which maps to /dev/dsp0.0. /dev/dsp is a cloned device which gives you the first free /dev/dsp* device. cloned devices do not appear in readdir requests, that's why you don't see it with "ls -l /dev/dsp*" -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
