Bug Description
Binary package hint: saydate
When I install saydate (resp. saytime), the following packages are installed:
libsox-fmt-base libsox-fmt-oss sox oss-compat
Nevertheless, I get the following errors:
FATAL: Module snd_seq_oss not found.
FATAL: Module snd_mixer_oss not found.
FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss not found.
As a result of this, when trying to execute saydate I get:
sox WARN raw: `-': sample rate not specified; trying 8kHz
sox WARN raw: `-': # channels not specified; trying mono
sox FAIL formats: can't open output file `/dev/dsp': Permission denied
The last message is a bit weird, as a) I am member of the group audio and b) the device file does not exist. :)

uid=1000(redtux) gid=1000(redtux) Gruppen=
redtux@nostrix:~$ ls -l /dev/dsp
ls: cannot access /dev/dsp: No such file or directory
I remember similar bugs from Debian GNU/Linux. Thus, afaik this error is well known.
E.g. see Bug #672950 https:/
Reading the Debian Sound FAQ also did not help. http://
Even after creating the device files in /dev I got the error message that they would not exist.

Unfortunately, I don't know where to find the correct kernel modules.
