Well, you can sometimes get OK .wav output to /dev/dsp , but /dev/audio
will only play au files .. of course, it's preferable to use some kind of
application instead, since stuff at high sampling rates sounds really
weird when cat'd through the /dev files.

pcm driver is much better than the old snd driver (voxware) stuff. You
still can't cat a wav through /dev/audio, though :)
