I followed the hint of Dev Mazumdar and tried the installation on
a laptop running FreeBSD 6.0-REL. Installation and configuration runs
fine and /usr/local/lib/oss/bin/osstest plays the sound on /dev/dsp1.

KDE's artsd (sound server) from time to time raises an error message
box saying:

	AudioSubSystem::handleIO: write failed
	len = -1, can_write = 8, errno = 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable)

which terminates the daemon and KDE restarts it. Is there something
to debug this or help to debug it. Thx
