====/dev/dsp not found?====

----

Do you have some older program which uses ///dev/dsp// device? It no longer works with ALSA or PulseAudio, without further configuration. But if you use PulseAudio there is simple solution - **//padsp//**.

padsp starts the specified program and redirects its access to OSS compatible audio devices (/dev/dsp and auxiliary devices) to a PulseAudio sound server.

Usage is simple - if you want to run let's say //yourexec//, just add padsp command before this executable:
<code bash>padsp yourexec</code>

That's it.
