When it boots I see the usual messages saying that it found various SB16 components at various addresses and IRQ's etc. I can play AU files fine using ... cp "au-file" /dev/audio but I don't know how to record. I've tried the following ... cp /dev/audio "au-file" AND cat /dev/audio > "au-file" and both appear to be writing to the file since it gets quite large, but the data is always fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff or some other such sequence all the way through the file. How can I tell where the SB16 is recording from. I'd like to to record from Line-In but I don't know where to set this. I've also tried the above with /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp16 etc. but all I get there is some message claiming a System Interrupt (or something like that.) I'm really just looking for a simple way to control the SB16 card from the command line. I don't care the build and install a complete application just to play and record sound. Any help or advice would be most appreciated. Many thanks. Frank Ficnar ficnar@ecf.toronto.edu
