Hmm. Can you try it with some suitable explicit setting - the guidelines
for 'driver-set-suitable' are quite loose.

so you have:

GUI-app --> your-codec --> /dev/dsp ?

that is each of the codecs that the GUI app exec()s talks to /dev/dsp and is
responsible for open()-ing and close()-ing it?

It might be worth looking at the /dev/dsp set-up/close-down code in one of
the other codecs to see what they do, if that's the case ;-)
