Trevor,

Two of my current packaging projects are beecrypt(which is a dependancy
for another primary package I'm involved with) and NASd.  Apparently
beecrypt uses /dev/dsp as a source of randomness in addition to the usual
suspects.  As for NASd, I'm having some other issues at the moment, so I
haven't had the oppotunity to fully investigate why it wants to read
/dev/dsp.  Oh well, something will turn up, I'm sure.

Cheers,
Nicholas
