/dev/dsp* & /dev/audio* devices not present

[Vladimir Terziev]

Thank you very much Ulrich!

After running "ls -l /dev/dsp0 /dev/dsp0.0" the devices are present and
Ekiga has found them.

The reasonable question is why Ekiga was not able to discover them
without the hack you suggested.

Regards,

Vladimir
