sounds cool! if you can help it, you might look at alsa (alsa-project.org) and jack (jackit.sf.net) which is built on alsa. both are much nicer than OSS, and make life much easier. (although, alsa will be default in the upcoming linux kernel, OSS supports more platforms and is what people generally have at the moment (well except for people who do audio stuff on linux)). > I'm rather confused by the semantics of write() in blocking and > [...] with respect to audio, i don't think there are defined semantics. i wouldn't rely to heavily on any of the implementation specific details being the same from release to release or even from one driver to another. but this comment is motivated mostly by my personal biases rather than any empirical evidence. good luck, rob ---- Robert Melby Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{decvax,hplabs,ncar,purdue,rutgers}!gatech!prism!gt4255a Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
