alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss

alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

people have been getting alot of sucess with this BUT I get this error on startup now....


Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.


any ideas how I can resolve this?
