How is this major? /dev/dsp is still there? /dev/dsp is the actual device (read some OSS documentation). /dev/sound/* was a convenience thing to make it obvious to people and to not put so many device nodes into /dev Same here - appears to have broken mythtv on those systems I have updated to this version. Will have to downgrade until its fixed. /dev/dsp is there, but its not working for all audio paths - I suspect the mixer is broke. I have some output from 'udevtest /class/sound/dsp' which differs between the two udev versions, and might help sorting these rules out. /dev/dsp is still there, so some oss apps still work e.g. mpg123 (In reply to comment #3) > I have some output from 'udevtest /class/sound/dsp' which differs between the > two udev versions, and might help sorting these rules out. > > /dev/dsp is still there, so some oss apps still work e.g. mpg123 > Please attach that info.

So you only get /dev/dsp instead of /dev/dsp and /dev/sound/dsp. What else should the attachments from comment #5 and comment #6 tell us? I am convinced /dev/sound was just legacy to have a layout similar to devfs. Now this got removed. What software does break? Mythtv is *probably* ok - I have deeper problems with the two systems involved - have to spend more time in tracking it down. BillK Yes, I see your point. If /dev/sound/* are deprecated, then that's the way it is, the udev rules aren't trying to create them. Sorry to waste your time folks, closing invalid. |
