sound help

[Blake Thornton <thornton math utah edu>]

I think that /dev/dsp is the sound device for both recording and playback?  
Could someone tell me if that is correct.

I'm trying out some softward and it is telling me it can't open the audio 
device that I have set as /dev/dsp.  I just wanted to make sure I had the 
device set correctly and therefore I would have to look for the problem 
elsewhere.

thanks,
blake
