Sound on sun4c
Ben, Ian and others,

amd7930 and audio were loaded and madplay still failed.

Installed it with dselect and selected Dummy_soundcard
with alsaconf. madplay still fails with this familiar message.
output: ioctl(SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT): Invalid argument
The problem with alsa in Debian 2.2.19 appears to be
that the DSP is not supported properly.

hold your breath.
Pity that the hardware is there but the software can
not operate it.

The DSP chip in this Sparc is an AMD 79c30 whereas
the ultra has something else. Also, you might be running
an OS more recent than Debian 2.2.19 which is on
this machine.
If anyone has any further suggestions I'm still interested.
Thanks, Peter E.
