From 6132b09664f9f764c564c403995a8984ada493fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven Date: Sun, 19 May 2002 10:53:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add entry for the common case of: xxx: can't open /dev/dsp! which causes a lot of people new to FreeBSD to wonder why their card seems to probe and set itself up correctly, but which doesn't play their mp3's. This is due to Gnome's esound or KDE's sound support to hold the devices hostage.
