Audio file open problem on LINUXPPC 1999 solution

[Stanko Juzbasic]

To whoever it may concern

It seems I found the cause and solution to the LINUXPPC 1999 audio file
open problem I wrote about two days ago:

The problem occurs only if one installs the new LINUXPPC 1999 filesystem
from scratch using the release CD-ROM installer. It has several  bugs,
among which this one:

- it fails to create /dev/dsp (eventhough it creates /dev/dsp1...),
without giving a notice
- default system sound apps have an endianness problem, so they don’t
give a proper
    error message.

The solution is to [MAKEDEV audio] manually and rebuild CCRMA sndlib,
and sound will work perfectly.

Best,

Stanko
