I also tend to agree that opening /dev/dsp read write was not a good idea, so I would not criticise the new behaviour. Each version of Linux 2.6 tend to break some softwares due to subtil changes. What is bad is that these changes tend to be not announced, but on the other hand the kernel mailing list is very responsive, so all in all it might be a reasonable way to go. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
