Very Computer

: I have recently installed a Sound Blaster 16 in my linux box.  I successfully
: compiled wav_play.  However when I run play or xplay I get the error "can't
: get blocksize".  Also, when I cat wav files to /dev/audio or /dev/dsb I get
: garbage.  Mostly hissing.

        First, the "can't get blocksize" means that you didn't get the patch
for play/xplay.  It's a conflict with the "old" versus the "new" ioctl call.
The patch is available on sunsite I believe.

        Secondly, you can't cat .wav files into either /dev's.

On a positive note, I can get sound fx through doom just fine.  However, no
music at all.  

Any help is appreciated!  Please either post responses or email me.
Thanks in advance.
