I want to write a program that generates sounds - sinus waves, random sound

use? The program should work on different architectures (i386, sparc ...)
I wrote an audio recorder and audio player based on the Open Sound
System (OSS) API back in 2002. Compiling and testing just now, my stuff
doesn't work (no /dev/dsp on Debian 5.0.3 desktop OOTB). :-(
FWIW, I used the OSS Programmer's Guide:
http://www.opensound.com/pguide/oss.pdf
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) was an upcoming, competing API
at the time.
Now I see references to Pulse Audio.
So, I'm also curious as to the how to read/ write audio devices (and
files) on modern Linux...
HTH,
David
