Re: sound on Linux

Hi Joaquim,

> /dev/dsp does not exist on modern Linux so sound is broken.

Is padsp(1) of any use?

    padsp starts the specified program and redirects its access to OSS
    compatible audio devices (/dev/dsp and auxiliary devices) to
    a PulseAudio sound server.

    padsp uses the $LD_PRELOAD environment variable that is interpreted
    by ld.so(8) and thus does not work for SUID binaries and statically
    built executables.
