Kline) Subject: How to play an *.au file? To: questions@freebsd.org (freebsd) Date: Fri, 1 Dec 1995 21:03:30 -0800 (PST) Organization: <> thought.org: public access uNix in service... <> X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 PGP2] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On my Sun at work I've got a neat *.au of Big Ben sounding, and a script that sounds the bong on the hour. The script uses the sun ``play'' binary, but I haven't found anything equivalent on my 2.0.5 CD ROM. So what's the FreeBSD equivalent? When I cat the file to /dev/audio, it hangs... Thanks for any tips. -- Gary D. Kline kline@tao.thought.org Public access uNix
