#19 Failed to open output device /dev/dsp

[Allar Õunapuu]

I'm using GWC verion 0.21-05

Whe I try to play audio I'm geting error:

Warning
Failed to open output device /dev/dsp

Device /dev/dsp itself exists and other soundapplications are running normally.
I'm using GWC under Gentoo Linux and compiled it with enabled alsa and oss USE-flags.

When running gwc from xterm i'm gotting such description:
ALSA lib pcm.c:2143:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM /dev/dsp
##########################################################
audio_device_open: snd_pcm_open
No such file or directory
gwc: pcm.c:974: snd_pcm_delay: Assertion `pcm' failed.

again '#ls -l /dev/dsp' gives:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2. dets 18:15 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp

When using ALSA, your device should be something like hw:0,0 or hw:1,0 etc.

I've added a bit of info in settings->miscellaneous to indicate that as well.
