cannot read any data from /dev/dsp

[Axel Weiß]

Hi,

I'm trying to read audio data from /dev/dsp, as I usually do it under 
linux. It seems that the device is recognized (open succeeds), but no 
data arrive.

Did I miss to configure something? Any help would be very nice.

Here is (part of) the output of 'strace cat /dev/dsp':
