using two sound cards

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Well, my problem with the -d option of the sox play command is solved,
and it works as Keith originally suggested. It turns out I had
outsmarted myself by placing a dummy play command in /usr/local/bin
which was designed to decide whether to call the system command in
/usr/bin, or to ignore the sound request. That allowed me to silence my
computer or allow it to make sounds by setting a flag somewhere. What I
was doing was only passing a single argument along from my dummy command
to the real command, and the solution was simply to change "$1" to "$*"
in my dummy.

It's always better not to shoot yourself in the foot if at all possible.
