No /dev/dsp, some programs failed to play sound

RichSelian · 2011-09-21 03:28:40

I'm using chakra-2010.09 and there is no /dev/dsp after a default installation. Programs using phonon as backend (KDE's login music and the default music player, Bangarang) can play sound without problems. But others like vlc, flashplugin and wine cannot. Vlc just report errors about no /dev/dsp. How can this be fixed?
Then I tried #modprobe snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_seq_oss, the module created /dev/dsp1. then I maked a soft link to /dev/dsp but vlc said "cannot open device /dev/dsp".
I also tried using osspd and vlc can play sound now, but flashplugin and wine still have problems.

Here are some of my system information:
