Lines: 20 Distribution: world Message-ID: <3f4qs3$mri@cs.ubc.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: coatta.home.cs.ubc.ca Hi, I'm running FreeBSD V1.1.5 with an SB16 and /dev/audio seems to be slightly non-functional. The problem is not actually with playing sounds, which seems to work OK, but that the program using /dev/audio hangs. For example: cat my_sound.au > /dev/audio plays the contents of the .au file alright, but the command never returns, and I eventually have to resort to ctl-C to killit off. I realize that this isn't going to be fixed (if it is a bug), but I am curious as to whether it indicates something wrong with my current setup. Terry Coatta coatta@nsg.bc.ca
