Issue with NAS (Network audio system)

Hi people. I think i have very basic issue but i don't know his solve.
Im downloading and install NAS 1.9.4 and its ok.
But if I'm try to start server using cmd:
nasd -v
I get this output:
Network audio system Release 1.9.4
Init: Output open(/dev/dsp) failed: No such file or directory
Fatal server error:
could not create audio connection block info.
I know error. /dev/dsp location doesn't exist. But i don't know how to change audio device location in nasd.conf file.
Thanks for help and sorry for my English.

Re: Issue with NAS (Network audio system)

You could use oss emulation that alsa-oss package comes with:

cat /etc/modules-load.d/50-oss-alsa-emulation.conf
#Alsa OSS Emulation
snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss
snd-seq-oss

That would create /dev/dsp. But looking at /etc/nasd.conf you could just change the output section device from /dev/dsp to /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p or similar and mixer to controlC0 or similar.
