Hi All,
When I booted my kernel, I found that there was no "/dev/dsp" device and so my application was not able to run. The application opens "/dev/dsp" device first and then does other things.
/dev/dsp is the OSS API. So an install without OSS will not have /dev/dsp. An application that supports alsa will link to libasound. If you have an OSS application that you want to work with ALSA, you need to add the ALSA OSS emulation layer.
