Hello,
sorry, I don't have many answers :
> Well, I compiled the es1370 driver into my kernel
Wasn't there a SB-specific option to set when you configured the
kernel? What did you configure your kernel with? "make menuconfig"?
> What's the difference between /dev/audio and /dev/dsp?
I'm not sure, but for me, doing :
cat ~/ftp/sndkit/dsp/endoftheworld > /dev/dsp
does some normal quality sound, whereas
cat ~/ftp/sndkit/dsp/endoftheworld > /dev/audio
does some noise vaguely reminiscent of what the original sound was.
> Why I'm I not getting any sound from /dev/dsp?
None none? Turned the volume up?
> How do I use /dev/midi? Nothing seems to work.
Did you try the program called "playmidi" ?
As you see, I haven't been of much help.
There seems to be many questions, on this list but few answers.
Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask more questions.
