Package: saydate
Version: 0.3.0-1
Severity: normal
/usr/bin/saydate ends with:
if [ ${#SAYFILES} -gt 0 ] ; then
cat $SAYFILES > /dev/audio
fi
Unfortunately, /dev/audio is not supported by all sound cards--notably the
Maestro 2E in my laptop. /dev/audio still works, but it sounds identical
to /dev/dsp. Ouch!
It would be better to convert the sound data to 16-bit PCM audio and
send it via the /dev/dsp device. I do this as follows:
if [ ${#SAYFILES} -gt 0 ] ; then
cat $SAYFILES | sox -t.ul - -t.sw - | bplay -b16
fi
It would also be acceptable, although with somewhat less quality, to use
the 'au2raw' program to convert to 8-bit audio, then cat that to /dev/dsp.
