WAVs are actually more difficult than they look. You can check if the setup is correct by: 1. Running `cat /dev/sndstat' and checking that the setup is right. 2. Running `cat /bin/mount > /dev/audio' and seeing if you hear noise from the soundcard. If those are OK you are set to go. > Also, when I used /dev/MAKEDEV > snd0, all I got in the /dev directory was 'sndstat'. Is this a problem > (no snd0 device)? Once again, thank you for your marvelous help. You > are the Gods of the digital realm. snd0 is a controller, not a device. You'll have devices like audio, dsp, and so forth.
