Still cannot get either version of the encoder to work for me. Realaudio folks seem to have forgotten to put LTA support into the Elf version and the a.out version gives me: % file ./raencoder raencoder: Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC), stripped % ./raencoder -l line -L -H 205.166.000.0 -P 7070 -W passwd -o test.ra LINUX: 'ioctl' fd=4, typ=0x44d(M), num=0xff not implemented raencoder: Error encountered: Cannot open audio device. ... % uname -a FreeBSD caliban 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #1: Fri Nov 22 19:51:52 HST 1996 Any thoughts? I dont know my ioctls at all. -David Langford langfod@dihelix.com
