I am running the Slackware 8.1 distro on my IBM NetVista. It came with a SoundMAX card onboard and after a lot of hunting I figured that the alsa 0.9.0rc2 intel8x0 driver was the one to use. I have gone through the install procedure and the Alsa mini HOWTO but I get stuck at the end. Everything checks out the way the HOWTO says it should except being able to cat a file to the pcmC0D0 device in /dev/snd. I actually have two devices one named pcmC0D0p and one named pcmC0D0c. I try to cat a file to each of them and both give me error messages, albeit different messages.
cat caruso.au > /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p cat: write error: File descriptor in bad state cat caruso.au > /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c cat: write error: Invalid argument Another question I have is about KDE. When it starts up it look for a device called /dev/dsp for the sound stuff. Do I need to create a link in to /dev/snd or is there a config file where I can tell it to look for /dev/snd instead? Thanks for any help.
