If you are having a problem with vat , please include the following 
information:

A brief description of the problem:

OS version:

Sound driver version:

Sound card:

vat version :
   is this is a compiled version from sources
   Where did you get the binary?

are you using vat with vmix?:

compression algorithm used in vat:
   
kernel config file parameters related to sound card:

output of "cat /dev/sndstat":

It does help if you can tell us that you can
record and playback sound, for instance
cat /dev/audio >foo      that records au files
cat foo >/dev/audio      that playbacks au files

The above example applies to sound driver version 3.5 and for a gus.
It will not work with the old sound driver found in -stable and -current
Pending upon your sound card you may have to use /dev/audio0 to record
and /dev/audio1 to playback.




If you are using sound driver version 3.5 and have a gus card please
don't use the socket interface of vat to talk to vmix. Just use
straight vat.

If you are running the sound driver version 3.5 and have a gus please try
ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/vat-4.0a2.bin.tar.gz		

If you have a sound blaster type card, please try:
ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/vat-and-half.gz

vat-and-half is just a straight compilation of vat and works in 
half-duplex audio -- even if you have a gus!
