The standard way the I use to test if sound is working on any linux box is this:
cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
That will play white noise until you hit Ctrl+C, and means that you
don't have to be concerned with knowing application x behaves
correctly or not. If you don't get any sound with the above play
around with all the controls in alsamixer (ipkg install
alsa-utils-alsamixer) until you hear something.
> Here is a section of kismet.conf:
I generally put the sound config in kismet_ui.conf - the difference is
whether the frontend (kismet_ui.conf) or backend (kismet.conf) plays
the sound. I suppose it shouldn't matter though since you will
probably be running both on the same machine (this is what happens if
you simply execute 'kismet' as opposed to 'kismet_server' or 'k
ismet_client').

I'd say you want to install alsa-utils-aplay and change the above line to:
soundplay=/usr/bin/aplay . Also make sure you have installed the
kismet-sounds package (or have alternate sounds to use).

On the day *I* go to work for Microsoft, faint oinking sounds will be
heard from far overhead, the moon will not merely turn blue but
develop polkadots, and hell will freeze over so solid the brimstone
will go superconductive.
