Jacob, I don't have the exact return codes in front of me but they appeared to be from viavoice library functions which were probably displayed by the cmdline demo programs. I'll have to go in a compile the kernel module for my soundcard and try it to see whether it works with the "real" oss. A friend of mine speculated that I may have a different pthread library, but plugging in a different soundcard module should be easy to do. Have you used viavoice with anything other than the demo programs? Chris On Wed, Apr 11, 2001 at 04:17:28PM -0400, Jacob Schmude wrote: > Hi > Well that's exactly what mine does.
