I successfully installed the alsa-driver and following the install guide, I tried to test it by seeing if I could hear static.. cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp This produces no static but using gxine I can play movies/mp3s and they play fine. The guide says /dev/dsp is a symlink to /dev/sound/dsp but /dev/sound/dsp does not exist for me. What is wrong?

To use /dev/sound/* you need OSS emulation, ALSA is in /dev/snd/*
