The problem i had here was catting to /dev/audio slowed the sample to half speed.

Enough said. >There are more and more games for Linux that will run under compatibility. <list snipped> Those all sound like fun. I was hooked to Monkey Island and the other Lucasfilm games for a while. I'd like to finish it, but my brother-in-law lost one of the 2 CD-ROMs. I'm always worried the next big game will be one i want to play... but frankly i'm just not interested in what i have seen.
