saytime can't work (missing /dev/audio)

[Prach Pongpanich]

Binary package hint: saytime

$ saytime
opening /dev/audio: No such file or directory

Thanks for taking your time to reporting this and making Ubuntu better!

I was able to reproduce this on Natty by installing and running saytime. It looks like /dev/audio has been removed in newer Ubuntu releases (found this out by looking in /dev, and a quick search on ubuntuforums shows others are missing it as well). I'm not sure what should be used in place of /dev/audio, though.
