/dev/dsp CWIRC Problem On Ubuntu

If you got problem with /dev/dsp for CWIRC on Ubuntu, try to launch X-Chat by typing padsp xchat on terminal. this is pulseaudio problem. Latest Ubuntu are using pulseaudio, not alsa.

  1. /dev/dsp is OSS not alsa, programs using alsa should be compatible with pulseaudio

  2. Even with pulseaudio, you have something else driving the sound. If you removed all sound applications except pulseaudio, you will have no sound at all. pa is just an audio server. Without alsa or oss, you have no sound.
