Sound Config Probs



Hi,

I know this is a long one but, after spending months  without sound for
Debian, I have
decided to tackle this problem.  However, I am at a loss as to why
it won't go.  I think its something I am doing incorrectly.

Card is...
ISA PnP Yamaha OPL3-SAx

Did:

cat "some .au file" > /dev/audio

Nothing happens.  Can't figure out if its isapnp or some other
config i have not completed yet. 


Did the neccessary configs in 'isapnptools'
Here is a portion of /etc/isapnp.conf

I don't know, perhaps I have missed something here.  Butit would
seem to me that there should be another step I am as of yet unaware
of that will tell '/dev/audio' where the soundcard is.

'cat /proc/interrupts' reveals that the chosen IRQ 5 fro the cadr is
not in use.

I am at a loss.  Perhaps someone can dig throught this and let me
know. Thanks in advance.
