Hey all,
Just got Gentoo GNU/Linux (www.gentoo.org) up and running on one of my machines. Gentoo has now /dev/dsp, but it does have /dev/dspW, which is an alternate dsp device, I'm led to understand. How do I get pd to use this instead of /dev/dsp? When I start up pd, I get:
/dev/dsp (read/write): No such file or directory (now will try write-only...) /dev/dsp (writeonly): No such file or directory /dev/dsp (readonly): Now such file or directory
Where do I get pd to use /dev/dspW instead of /dev/dsp?

Thanks, except now I get "Permission denied" errors when I try to run pd as a non-root user, and "No such device or address" when I run it as root. I was thinking maybe there was something like .pdrc file or similar config file where I could specify which /dev pd would use.

no, i think, it's hardcoded in the oss layer to use /dev/dspX devices (X = number)

brute f0Rc3: chmod 777 /dev/dsp
recommended: addgroup audio # if not there already chown :audio /dev/dsp chmod g+rw /dev/dsp
then add yourself or any other user that needs access to the audio group i.e.: adduser username audio
I was thinking maybe there was something like .pdrc file or similar config file where I could specify which /dev pd would use.
as mentioned earlier it's hardcoded

just to jump in ......on gentoo, you already have an audio group. you may need to edit /etc/group and add your name to the group.
also, if you are not up and running...make sure you do:
emerge alsa-oss
and
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
you should then see 'snd-pcm-oss' along with your other alsa modules when you do lsmod
here is a good guide on how to set up the alsa modules on gentoo:

I would rather try to fix /dev/dsp. Somnething is wrong if you don't have this device. Are you running the ALSA drivers? If yes, make sure you have snd-pcm-oss loaded and you did run the snddevices script in the alsa-driver sources. If you're running the OSS drivers you should seriously consider to replace them with the ALSA drivers.
Just linking dspW to dsp probably won't solve your problems.

i don't think it's possible to use an alternate /dev/dsp device ... when i was using my old quattro i had to use /dev/dsp0 and /dev/adsp0 ... the only way to do that was creating a symlink from /dev/adsp0 to /dev/dsp1 ... you could try something like that ...
Where do I get pd to use /dev/dspW instead of /dev/dsp?
i forgot all these problems using jack (although there are some issues with jack and usb audio devices)
