>Description:
The amp mp3 player fails if /dev/audio cannot be read although it
never actually reads any data (it only writes). This can cause amp to
unnecessarily break when used with a NetBSD sound driver (such as
emuxki(4)) which does not yet support recording.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install amp on a machine with a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 (or similar).
It will fail claiming that it cannot open the audio device.
>Fix:
Simply change the open() in audioIO_SunOS.c to use O_WRONLY instead of
O_RDWR.
Note that patch-ac already changes audioIO_SunOS.c, so you'll have to
edit that as well.
To save you the trouble of making this patch, you may download an
entire updated package for amp from:
