Hi

I've just configured a new kernel to use a soundblaster 16. All devices are
seen at boot time but when I cat an 'au' file to /dev/audio I get a 1/2 second
of sound and then nothing. The command appears hung and cannot be interupted.

With smaller au files e.g. laugh.au from the sun collection I was able to interupt
the 'cat' but it appeared that all the file had been 'played' at this point.

any ideas ?

thanks in advance

Damian
