Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail v3.22 Message-ID: <8AC55303F0A@mercury.csg.peachnet.edu> Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I remember reading a while back that .au files could be played through the pc speaker by doing a cat somefile.au > /dev/audio. I tried this and I get a message saying "device not configured" and when I try to do cat somefile.au > /dev/speaker I get a "permission denied" message. I tried to find info about configuring /dev/audio but could not find anything. Do I need another program to be able to do this? Can somebody out there please tell me how to configure the /dev/audio device?
