Hi,
I know this is a long one but, after spending months without sound for
Debian, I have
decided to tackle this problem. However, I am at a loss as to why
it won't go. I think its something I am doing incorrectly.
Card is...
ISA PnP Yamaha OPL3-SAx
Did:
cat "some .au file" > /dev/audio
Nothing happens. Can't figure out if its isapnp or some other
config i have not completed yet.
Did the neccessary configs in 'isapnptools'
Here is a portion of /etc/isapnp.conf

I don't know, perhaps I have missed something here. Butit would
seem to me that there should be another step I am as of yet unaware
of that will tell '/dev/audio' where the soundcard is.
'cat /proc/interrupts' reveals that the chosen IRQ 5 fro the cadr is
not in use.
I am at a loss. Perhaps someone can dig throught this and let me
know. Thanks in advance.
