This is the third time I try to post the reply below. The two previous

Returns this:
default:CARD=S16
Sound Blaster 16, DSP v4.13
Default Audio Device
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: S16 [Sound Blaster 16], device 0: SB16 DSP [DSP v4.13]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Not much of this that I understand, what does it mean???

I assume that you are not saying there should be a file named
"some.wav", right?
On a freshly installed Fedora7 box where nothing else has been done,
where can one find a wav file to use as a test?
I have no connectivity over to my Windows box except the virtual PC
window I am using to run the guest operating system in.
I hade to type the above result from the screen to this message for
instance.
I do have wav files on my Windows PC, but I cannot get them over to
the Fedora PC. There should exist something since the device test uses
sound. But where?

Search where? On the Fedora7 PC or Google?
