[ps_continuous] Failed top open audio device

[gef]

Hello.
I have a problem with pocketsphinx_continuous. I install sphinxbase and
pocetsphinx succesfully. But at run pocketsphinx_continuous get:

INFO: ngram_search_fwdflat.c(156): fwdflat: min_ef_width = 4, max_sf_win = 25
INFO: continuous.c(367): pocketsphinx_continuous COMPILED ON: Apr  3 2012, AT: 17:50:38

ad_oss.c(103): Failed to open audio device(/dev/dsp): No such file or directory
FATAL_ERROR: "continuous.c", line 242: Failed top open audio device

I use Xubuntu 11.10. Google suggests me to use "padsp" for create virtual DSP
for my process.

gef@gef-laptop:~$ padsp pocketsphinx_continuous 
...
ioctl(NONBLOCK) failed: Invalid argument
FATAL_ERROR: "continuous.c", line 242: Failed top open audio device

Can you help me?

I had install both ALSA and oss-compat, but still I get this error :

ad_oss.c(103): Failed to open audio device(/dev/dsp): No such file or
directory
FATAL_ERROR: "continuous.c", line 242: Failed top open audio device

I have no idea what to do next? any ideas? :(

Please let me know how to install ALSA and oss-compat. Am using 12th version of ubuntu.. Bt in ubuntu forum they says "Ubuntu has chosen to disable OSS support in their kernels and ignore any bugs filed against OSS4 packages. If you're considering using OSS4, you should probably use another Linux distro like Arch Linux. This page remains for historical/reference reasons"

Install alsa development package and recompile sphinxbase.

By recompile, does it mean to configure and make install again?
After installing pulseaudio, libpulse-dev, osspd, do I also need to recompile pocketsphinx after I reinstall sphinxbase? Thanks!

Run "modprobe snd_pcm_oss" as root

When i type
"modprobe snd_pcm_oss"

FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss not found.
