Also, try doing 'cat /dev/sndstat' to make sure that pcm really does understand your card.

OK, did that, and I get:

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed Devices:
pcm0: <SB16 DSP 4.13> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:5 bufsz 4096d (1p/1r/0v channels duplex)

Does that all seem OK?
Absolutely.

I'm not totally sure about this, but I think that you can dump audio file in the 'au' format directly to devices. A test au format file can be found on http://www.cti.ecp.fr/documents/a_sound.au (This was linked to from http://www.cti.ecp.fr/documents/tests/au.html which you might also find useful).

OK, I'm willing to give that a try, but what device should I can the .au
file to?  Do I cat to /dev/dsp0 ?
Yes, give it a try. As I mentioned above, if you have MP3 files then try using a command-line mp3 decoder as well. They also use the /dev/dsp entries.

Andrew.
