I need help in finding the reason for the /dev/dsp busy message. fstat does not
show any process using /dev/dsp.
I am running 5.3 with xorg, kde 3.3. When KDE starts, /dev/dsp tests busy which
directs arts to /dev/null. There are no processes using /dev/dsp. I can play
CDs using either kcd or 'cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1', so I think the sound
card is setup okay.
However something is wrong since 'cat filename > /dev/dsp' produces no sound.
My configuration:
ls -l /dev/dsp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 3 Nov 28 16:04 /dev/dsp
cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <ESS Technology Maestro-2E> at I/O port 0x1400 irq 5 kld snd_maestro
(4p/0r/0v channels duplex default)

Thanks for any pointers.
