dsnoop.conf defines 'device=$DEV' It seems that $DEV is somewhere defined as /dev/snd, but the directory /dev/snd does not exist on my system. All relevant files are in the /dev directory, that is, /dev/control0, /dev/dsp, /dev/mixer etc. How and where can I configure alsa to read from the valid directory?
Takashi might know. This is somewhat off topic for the mobile list as this seem to be a general sound problem? Maybe you should open a bug for that on https://bugzilla.novell.com Thomas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-mobile+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-mobile+help@opensuse.org
