I used to have the boing and other sounds functioning. Now I get the
following error message. I have been slowly upgrading to LinuxPPC2000 and

osi_sound driver opened
----> Failed to open /dev/dsp - Sound Disabled
Mapping GC at 80800000

I've tried various window managers and toggled various sound settings
within those window managers. How does one go about locating what might
be controlling /dev/dsp and preventing mol access?
Under KDE not yet upgraded to most recent rpm's mol functions CORRECTLY.
