Problem with 6.5rc1

[Lars Bjørndal]

Thank you, all!

At last I was able to start SD as a SD user. spd-say works. However,
logging in as lrs, and doing mplayer url, still gives:

[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:831:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to
create IPC semaphore
[AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Permission denied

Output of ls -al /dev/audio, no gives

crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root audio 14, 4 2007-11-28 11:11 /dev/audio

I don't want to run mplayer with sudo...

BTW: I get an error message when starting the script:

Starting speech-dispatcher: Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to
the console. The startup script now looks like:

#!/bin/bash
#
. /etc/init.d/functions

test -x /usr/bin/speech-dispatcher || exit 0

RETVAL=0
prog="speech-dispatcher"

start() {
        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
	daemon --user speech-dispatcher --pidfile /var/run/speech-dispatcher/sd.pid /usr/bin/speech-dispatcher -P /var/run/speech-dispatcher/spd.pid
	RETVAL=$?
	[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/speech-dispatcher
	echo
}
...
