[+PLUS] Problem in accessing /dev/dsp

[Santhosh Thottingal]

Thanks for your input...
Killing the process does not seem to be a good choice.
I got some sample code to play sound files using ALSA
library(alsa/asoundlib.h from alsa-lib and alsa-lib-devel) from one friend.
I will update you after trying it.
Thanks,
