The OSS emulation device files don't support .wav files. Try .au files instead, or use some playing tool. > When I try "aplay /dev/dspX" I get the same thing or nothing. > > How do I tell which /dev/dsp? device the output sound should be sent to? /dev/dspX is the OSS emulation for device 0 on card X. /dev/adspX is the OSS emulation for device 1 on card X. See "aplay -l" for a list of cards, devices, and subdevices. You can specify the device name (not a file name) with the -D parameter, e.g. use "aplay -Dhw:0,1 something.wav" to play on card 0, device 1.
