alsa question

[Igor Gueths]

Hi listers. I have my sound card module loaded from /lib/modules/2.4.18/misc, which is where my alsa modules are located. In /dev/snd, I have pcmC0D0C, and pcmC0D0P. To make sure the card worked, I did the following: cat english.au /dev/snd/pcmC0D0C. All I got was a resounding beeping from the pc speaker, no audio. Can I not use cat to send audio to the sound card so it will play it? Or would it be better to use wavplay to do audio testing? Thanks in advance!
