Sound on GNU/Hurd

[Robert Millan <rmh@gnu.org>]

Hi,

I managed to play some sound on GNU/Hurd using patched Rump and a modified mplayer. For
those interested:

1. Setup APT repository (https://people.debian.org/~rmh/rump/apt/00README)

2. If using kvm, add "-soundhw ac97". With real hardware ICH/AC97 and Intel HD audio are supported.

3. Install mplayer from the repository and run with: mplayer -ao sun soundfile.ogg

Enjoy :-)
