Not sure if this is a MacOS problem, a SoX problem, or both. Tested on MacOS SnowLeopard (and Leopard I think, but I'm not sure of that) with SoX 14.3.2 as installed via MacPorts.
Problem: I can block all sounds on MacOS by suspending a SoX play. Steps to reproduce: Verify that system sounds work: Cause a beep by hitting an invalid key, play a file with another program, etc.). Start playing a file (play file.wav) from a shell (I use tcsh). Suspend play with Ctrl+Z. Try to produce a sound with another program. Result: No program, even the system itself (or VoiceOver, for those of us who use that) can produce a sound until play is resumed. -- Doug Lee d...@dlee.org http://www.dlee.org SSB BART Group doug....@ssbbartgroup.com http://www.ssbbartgroup.com "It's not easy to be crafty and winsome at the same time, and few accomplish it after the age of six." --John W.
