Trevor,
Two of my current packaging projects are beecrypt(which is a dependancy
for another primary package I'm involved with) and NASd. Apparently
beecrypt uses /dev/dsp as a source of randomness in addition to the usual
suspects. As for NASd, I'm having some other issues at the moment, so I
haven't had the oppotunity to fully investigate why it wants to read
/dev/dsp. Oh well, something will turn up, I'm sure.
Cheers,
Nicholas
