hmm.. nope not on a desktop - iam using the same code to play the file i just do some changes to the source file so that it reads from the file - (which contains the recorded voice data, that was recorded from a diff system ) and writes to "/dev/dsp" rather than reading from /dev/dsp . Hope iam clear now. And iam wondering how do people manage code so that it plays a certain channel/format/sampling rate clearly on diff systems - iam confused :-( . does this disparity have something to do with hardware ????? cheers, Amith Gowri Ramasubramanian wrote: > What are you playing the file with? your own program or another application > already present? > > In that case when you play the file you should ensure that the format, rate > and chaanels of the application you are using to play are the same as you > had used for recording. > > And are you doing it on a desktop? > > Gowri. > > -----Original Message----- > From: kernelnewbies-bounce@nl.linux.org > [mailto:kernelnewbies-bounce@nl.linux.org] > Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 9:53 AM > To: Newbies > Subject: Sound Programming. > > hi all, > i had sent a similar query before.
