fc4 sox and ossdsp...

[K.C. Chan]

All, this used to work on fc3,
" | sox -t raw -r8000 -c1 -w -s - -t ossdsp /dev/dsp". Now it just sit there withou sound until I control out of it. I have check the input, there is sound on it. I also check this on another box (fc3) and it is working. Any ideay why "-t ossdsp /dev/dsp" is no longer working on fc4? Thanks.

please ensure no other process is using /dev/dsp.

as root user check '/sbin/fuser /dev/dsp'

if any process is using /dev/dsp it will list the pid of that process, kill that process (or close it) then try the command, also ensure that you have volumes set for the device properly (check it using alsamixer)

Hope this helps,
Gopi

figured it out. There was an internal changed. SOX was NOT broken.
