The docs for that wrapper say that its only used for 4.x. I've been able to use sound in 4.x just by using artsdsp or esddsp in the past (although it wasnt the best, it did work) but I am now using 5.0. I gave it a whirl and still it didnt work. It still says there is no /dev/dsp device. Both artsplay and esdplay are currently working. KDE uses arts, so I know thats working. NWN works great with artsdsp and some of my media players use esddsp.
Is there some command that will tell me which /dev device that artsd or esd is using? I am pretty sure its /dev/dsp, but with absolutly nothing working that I have tried with VMWare and /dev/dsp, there is a chance that they could be using something else.
