to send a signal directly to your soundcard you can use aplay. first try: cat /proc/asound/devices the output will something like this: 1: : sequencer 0: [0- 0]: ctl 8: [0- 0]: raw midi 18: [0- 2]: digital audio playback 17: [0- 1]: digital audio playback 16: [0- 0]: digital audio playback 24: [0- 0]: digital audio capture 33: : timer The numbers inside the square brackets ("[x- y]") are indexes for the soundcard (x) and the device (y) on that soundcard. So to play using the first playback device on the first card ("[0- 0]") you could use: aplay -D hw:0,0 file.wav For the second and third you could use: aplay -D hw:0,1 file.wav aplay -D hw:0,2 file.wav good luck, floris Юрий Пайков schreef: > On Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:41:39 +0600, Floris <jkfloris@xxxxxx> wrote: > > Sorry, I missed the previouse mail.. > This is about subj, advice was to install a binary package or compile .21 > version of source > Well, no luck for both :( > > THe thing is, there IS a /proc/asound entry and I can see the features of > a soundcard > Is there a way to send something directly to a device file and what should > it look like? > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
