The reason I suggested 'default' as output device in sox command is, sox should figure out output device itself irrespective of OSS or ALSA. If sox couldn't figure it out, I wonder what can. You didn't mention if you tried sox command on debian. -- ________________________________________ -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/>M d- s++:+ a- C++(++++) ULBS++++$ P+++>$ L+++$ E+ W++ N++ O!
