[gentoo-user] emulating a sound card with software in Linux

[Andrew Gaffney]

I am currently working on building my own Linux-driven Big Mouth Billy Bass according to 
the instructions at <http://bigmouth.here-n-there.com/>. In order to have the thing play 
the custom audio clips, I have to run patch cables from my audio out on my sound card to 
the speaker on the bass. When reading the following, keep in mind that this current 
project is my first run-in with low-level access to RS232, parallel, or anything similar.

I want to be able to emulate a sound card in software so that what would normally come out 
of an audio out on a regular sound card can be sent through a certain pin of the parallel 
port without any hardware modifications to the computer the program is running on. I don't 
even know if the parallel port can even be accessed that way. Can anyone either just shoot 
this down now or point me in the right direction?
