ViaVoice help

[w1gm at sdf.lonestar.org]

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?
