speakfreely: error opening audio output

[Cheryl Homiak]

Ok, I'm still getting this error even though I uncommented the "deplex +" line
for half duplex, ran make clean and ran make.
First question, those were the instructions that displayed with the error, but
do I also have to reinstall the executables.
Otherwise, what else should I look for.
I am using OSS with sblive sound card.
TIA.

Never mind; I have found the problem, and the problem was 	ME!!!
OSS isn't set to start at boot; if you don't start your sound, of course it
isn't going to work!
DUH!!!!!
wELL, you see, I did that on purpose to make newbies feel comfortable. I get the
dumb award for the day, so nobody else needs to worry.
And if you believe that ....

Hi Cheryl. It would be a good idea to reinstall the new executables just
to make sure that the newly compiled binary (s) don't give you the same
error.
