ossctl can't write out the dspdevs.map file

The device that stands out is the one that works for me, where I hear sound output.

However, I can't get ossctl to write out the dspdevs.map file when I try to reorder
the output devices and save.

Code: Select all

tcsh-[50]# rm /usr/lib/oss/etc/dspdevs.map
tcsh-[51]# /usr/sbin/ossctl
  <snip some gui interaction which doesn't show up in xterm>
Set reroute: Invalid argument
Set reroute: Invalid argument
Set reroute: Invalid argument
tcsh-[52]# ls -la /usr/lib/oss/etc/dspdevs.map
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           0 Sep 12 15:36 /usr/lib/oss/etc/dspdevs.map


Can someone tell me what the format of the dspdevs.map file is supposed to be?
Or tell me why ossctl is not working as expected, and if it's a known bug when
a fix is expected?

Thank you.

Can someone post the contents of their dspdevs.map file, from
/usr/lib/oss/etc/dspdevs.map?

Maybe if I can at least write one out by hand, that would work
for me.

Thanks.
