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. > > > > Try replacing the snd0, sb*, and opl drivers with the pcm driver.

You still can't cat a wav through /dev/audio, though :) -rob ( www.namodn.com ) ( robert@namodn.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
