Keith, Here is what happens on this SW 10.0 system: Script started on Tue 21 Dec 2004 10:25:10 AM EST root at hhs48:~# play -d /dev/dsp0 /usr/share/sounds/error.wav sox: Can't open input file '': No such file or directory root at hhs48:~# exit Script done on Tue 21 Dec 2004 10:25:48 AM EST The wav file does exist and plays fine without the option present. Same error if I just specify /dev/dsp without the trailing zero, also. I wonder what gives here?
