I want to create some beep's with it, during the music, through the soundcard. Opening /dev/midi0 or /dev/sequencer0 just gives "Device not configured". And opening /dev/dsp0 and trying for example ioctl "SNDCTL_SYNTH_INFO", gives me "Invalid argument". Is my PCI-soundcard just not equipped with a FM synthesizer, or am I missing something here? What I am trying to do is playing short tones while some other program is playing sound. If there is any other way to do this, other than in-software mixing the two streams (music & tones) into one, I would like to know how :) -- Control the lights in my room: http://www.Danovitsch.dnsq.org/webcam Moo, ]:8) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
