Nobody had this request yet, and I don't know if there's already such code.
In principle it can be easily *coded*, the hostaudio module does something similar to map /dev/dsp (or any node with the right major and minor, even if it's called /dev/lp) inside UML to /dev/sound/dsp (or another configurable path) outside it. The only problem could be for writes / reads, because the hostaudio driver does not update the position after a read, since it mimics a OSS driver which has this API. I don't know, but maybe the parallel port works the same way. -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
