First I grabbed the lines out of the LINT configuration file that corresponded to my sound card, and recompiled the kernel. You will have to reboot to get the new kernel to work. Then I went to /dev, and made the sound devices. I think the command is: % ./MAKEDEV snd I'm not 100% sure about the snd, but it something close to that (maybe audio?). Anyway, just look at the MAKEDEV script to find out for sure. Once you've done that, you can this: % cat /path/to/any/sound.au > /dev/audio and the sound card will play it. Note .au files are sun audio files. To play anything else, you'll have to use sox to convert it. To use other capabilities, you'll have to find the music utilities from the network. I haven't got them yet, so I can't tell you what or even where as yet.. :) Good luck. Steve PS: playing sounds to /dev/audio will do some WIERD things if you have a IRQ conflict.. :) -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Jorgensen | Khoral Research Inc. steve@khoros.unm.edu | 6001 Indian School, Suite 200 (505) 837-6500 | Albuquerque, NM 87110 ------------------------+------------------------------------ This Space for Rent. | URL: http://www.khoros.unm.edu -------------------------------------------------------------
