I am working on voice transmission and need to know what changes
need some help regarding for voice recording.

I can play the audio files using 'cat file.au > /dev/audio'.
However, 'cat audio > filename'  does not record the voice 
of the person speaking on the microphone connected to the
SoundBlaster 16 card.

Can somebody help me regarding the ioctl's that I need to do 
before I can start reading from /dev/audio or is there some 
other procedure involved in voice recording rather than a simple
cat /dev/audio.
