Very Computer

Briefly:

Has anyone managed to get WAVPLAY to work on linux 1.2.x with the new
sound driver?  The only distribution I can find is set up for Linux
0.99pl14, and the author blithely comments "You will probably need to
change the ioctl calls in recplay.c", but doesn't mention which calls to
change or what to.

I really need to get this working, so that I can write a tool to let
users "page" me when I'm not logged in.........

Same problem here.  I just created a simple script called "auplay"
and simply have it do:

cat soundfile.au  /dev/audio

This plays the soundfile.au file perfectly, however it is not a
wave file.

sox filename.wav -t sbdsp /dev/audio

SOX is smart enough to change the sampling rate fom 8000 (the default)
to whatever the wave file is!
