Subject: Cygwin 1.7.26: opening /dev/dsp fails
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-IsSubscribed: yes

After upgrading to Cygwin 1.7.26, trying to open the audio device
/dev/dsp fails with "No such file or directory".

This error appears in the log file of mpd (the music player daemon
available from Cygwin Ports), but there is also a simple test case:

  $ ls -l /dev/dsp
  crw-rw-rw- 1 ds None 14, 3 Dec  1 01:12 /dev/dsp
  $ date > /dev/dsp
  -bash: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory

The problem affects both the 64- and the 32-bit version and
disappears after downgrading to Cygwin 1.7.25.

- Dirk
