Hey all.
This morning I found that my audio playback is randomly sprinkled with sound skips and dropouts. I went to /var/log/yum.log and found this:
Feb 09 20:18:22 Updated: lame-3.99.4-2.el6.rf.i686
I'm not saying that caused the problem but it's all I could find that changed.
lame-3.99.4-2.el6.rf.i686 is RepoForge package, and if he is the culprit, you have to take it on their mailing list.
Lame should not be responsible for the missing /dev/dsp. It is likely that something else got updated as well (what else is in the yum.log?), or that something crashed (pulseaudio, alsa, the kernel... :-) ).
The simplest way is to try to logout and login, and see if that helps. If not, reboot. If not, reboot to an older kernel. If not, read logs for pulseaudio etc.
Btw, I am writing off the top of my head here, but I think that mplayer should not even try to use /dev/dsp. Try it with
mplayer -ao pulse file.wav
That should force mplayer to use pulseaudio (which should be the default by now, IIRC). If necessary, put it in mplayer's config file.
HTH, :-) Marko

totem works great after lame downgrade. Thanks for the clue guys.

Still just makes a nasty hiss.
Still no /dev/dsp. Maybe there isn't supposed to be one for my sound hardware?
