sound input from /dev/dsp

["Henry A. Leinhos" <leinhosha@npt.nuwc.navy.mil>]

Hi,

I'm writing an application that writes to and reads from the sound
device (/dev/dsp), and have been having some trouble with  the Burgundy
input sound device driver (the sound  out seems to work fine).  I can
run the same application on a machine with the Screamer (i.e. dual G4)
sound device without any trouble, but reading the burgundy device gives
me nothing but zeros.

When I read from /dev/dsp, I notice that I'm getting interrupts, and the
read returns data, but the data are all zeros. I get the same behavior
when using an application like grecord (I get data, but they're all zeros).

I'm currently using Kaoru Fukui's 2.4.8-pre1_0a, compiled on a single
cpu B&W G3 (400MHz), as well as a dual G4 (400MHz w/SMP).

I've tried compiling Kaoru's 2.4.10 kernel, but have been having some
boot-up issues.  Before I rsync to any more current tree, is there
something I'm doing that's obviously wrong?


Thanks in advance,
Henry
