Yes. I read several messages on this list that said applications are
not working if they are sending data to /dev/dsp. I have this problem
too. If you look at the permission with ls -l it has my login then root
and then that stupid sticky bit thing. When I call /dev/dsp with a GUI
device the permissions are changed it seems.
So I want the thing changed to what is in FC6 which is root uucp and
I know how to use that :-)
