To the best of my knowledge on a new install of Slackware, Alsa is the default
sound engine but it's usually not configured.
You have to be root to run it. If not is should be in the alsa-utils pkg.

Speaking of apache/HTML, I would really appreciate it if someone could
point me to the HTML CGI verbiage needed to call a function to return
the _initial_ contents of a user-changeable text/numeric box. I found
many many functions for calling a function on this, that, the other

A GUI-based approach to writing shell scripts. Isn't that oxymoronic?
