OK, I'm willing to give that a try, but what device should I can the .au

Yes, give it a try.

I tried it, and nothing happened.  No sound came out.

I cat'd the file to /dev/dsp0.  Was that correct?

Sorry Ronald, I don't know what else to check from there. My advice would be to try an mp3 or other media player.

As I mentioned above, if you have MP3 files then try using a command-line mp3 decoder as well. They also use the /dev/dsp entries.

OK.  I'll try that too.

Where can I pick up some short free MP3 files for testing?

I'm sure if you Google around, you will find something. That's how I found the .au file.


Sorry I can't be more help.

Andrew.
