I compiled with full debug info but no messages appeared in

Problem description:

  INSTALL file describes full /dev/dsp compatability but I cannot access the
device.
  The following message appears (using `cat linus.au > /dev/dsp`):

     Operation not supported by device.

  play etc, from the sox package, are also not able to use /dev/audio.
  sndserv (from l[sx]doom) is unable to access /dev/dsp either.

  The native es1370 Esoniq driver in the kernel OSS/Lite can use dsp/audio
but produces
  very static output (almost unintelligble - ( no IRQ conflicts etc ?))

  Apart from that alsa works great.  aplay, amixer et al work without a
hitch and produces
  great sound.  Keep up the excellent work
