I'm writing something (as an applet within the appletviewer or Linux
Netscape 4.5) that downloads and plays an audio clip. For this, I need to
determine if there's a sound card installed in the system: if there isn't,
I beep using the speaker.

Can anyone suggest a way of finding if there's a sound card installed ? It
would be nicest if I didn't have to break any applet security rules,
though I can do that if absolutely necessary. (I thought of reading
/dev/sndstat, but I'd prefer that the approach also be cross-platform).

Apologies if the question is off-topic...

Many thanks,

Hari.
