[Speex-dev] speexdec and ALSA

[Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves]

List,

I'm not used to work with ALSA, so it was a surprise to me when
testing an ALSA-only system that it did not have /dev/dsp.  In this
machine, speexdec throws me an error that it won't work without
/dev/dsp, so I found out that in ALSA there's stuff under /dev/snd,
but everything I tried to make a link to /dev/dsp (say,
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c) reports as being the wrong IOCTL.

Any ideas how to get speexdec working under this environment?
