Does that ring any bells with anybody?Alternatively, has anyone tried to build the *bsd audioplay package on linux?Last time I needed to play a wav, I just used cat. I think it was to /dev/audio or /dev/dsp, I forget which.
These days you should be using a program like 'aplay'. /dev/dsp is an obsolete interface, using it will invoke (at least one) compatibility layer, and what's more it can't handle different kinds of wav files like ALSA's aplay command can.
