sound application needed...

sound application needed...

[Kaushik Kumar]

Hi all,

I need a simple sound application to test my sound driver which does
*not* use the  alsa user lib API.

Or Can you tell me how to write one...

Thanx!

You can cat files to /dev/dsp, like so:

  cat /proc/kcore > /dev/dsp

You can also read from it, then play it again:

  cat /dev/dsp > tmp; cat tmp > /dev/dsp  # hit ^C to stop recording

hi phil,

I am actually implementing an user level sound driver.. which is still
in its rudimentary stages. It does *not* use the /proc interface. I
have a simple driver API which the application needs to use. And I
need to basically test it.

Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanx!
