Ah, I see. I know that dev/dsp is a symbolik link but that's about it. I'm
bit unsure as to where it should actually be pointing at. Mandrake 9.2 used
to lose the sound card on another machine occasionally if I had been in
Windows.
isa-cards are tricky, specially the isapnp once *which AFAIK your card
is).
Urgh yes, AWE32 is a physically very long ISA card. Would newer kernels or
the textmode Redhat sound configuration tools help?
dpkg -l <pattern> searches on package-name
Howabout
apt-cache search pattern
I used that. but it tends to be slow if I say something like:
apt-cache search .*gnome.*
yes you can. But I find compilign them myself better mostly.
That's what people are telling me, hehe. I'd like to get things done quickly
and most access thingies up and running painlessly at this point, worrying
about performance and disk space usage much much later. Besides, I've never
compiled a kernel in my life, though I have seen it being done and it was
not awfully difficult. I know I need to take that step at some point but I
would not want to tackle it just yet.

Thanks for the link.
have to learn C now for my
studies.
It's nicely minimalistic, though I prefer OOP for anything larger and or
more complex.
Currently playing around with java rmi (remote method
invocation)
I'm programming a very simple database app in Swing as an exercise. I like
SQL syntactically but Swing is difficult.
YOu could also try to find any SUN Audio files (.au) on the web and
cat them to /dev/audio
How does it know the right sampling rate and isn't there some header that
sounds like garbage?
