Hmm... I just tried a wave file and it worked! cat ./Office51/config/alarm.wav > /dev/audio gave me an alarm...
On my system /dev/audio made a blasting noise with huge static, under which I could hear faint traces of the wav file. /dev/dsp, however, worked great. Does anyone know the difference between /dev/audio and /dev/dsp? Thanks. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.0 Professional KMail 1.0.29.2 Bryan S.

I believe /dev/dsp uses a different driver. You only get it with the correct kernel configuration option. -- David Benfell benfell@parts-unknown.org --- Resume available at http://www.parts-unknown.org/resume.html
