Hi! I think the sound example to the right really shows it. /dev/dsp has a consistent ABI on a ton of systems. The API below it, varies. Linux got file_operations and ALSA. Solaris/BSD may have its vnode-and-so-on-functions and some sort of OSS. I think this is a poor

Hi! So... in dsp, if I wanted to record sound, I did cat /dev/dsp /tmp/foo; cat /tmp/foo /dev/dsp If that worked, I had usable sound system, and if it broke, I knew it is kernel fault. With alsa it is download install alsalib download install alsautils
