Sound support in Cygwin?

[s***@telering.at]

Hi,

I want to port a program to cygwin that writes to /dev/dsp. So far I
have not found any soundsupport in cygwin. Is there any such thing?

Last message I read abuot this said "experimental reading of /dev/dsp,
no one is mantaining it and code is rotting" or something like that
(AFAIR!!).
sound writing was never there, I think.

yes, try
cat wavfile.wav > /dev/dsp


(obviously replace wavfile.wav with a real wavfile)
dont try an mp3 though ;)

dont know any details beyound that though.

/dev/dsp is supposed to be working, but the format of the data is
completely different from what you'd find on Unix. The Windows DSP
accepts Wave files (.wav) as the raw data. You can try "cat
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/Media/tada.wav > /dev/dsp" to see if it works on your
machine.

If your Unix program generates the data it writes to /dev/dsp, substantial
parts of it may need to be rewritten.
