We have now confirmed this problem on another x86 system. Our plan is to
switch to open the device in one channel mode and perform the
"duplication" ourselves in our application. How can we check if the audio
device is indeed a Sun Ray utaudio device, the best way? The utaudio man
page says:
...
use the AUDIO_GETDEV ioctl to determine which audio device
is being used. The utaudio driver returns the string
"SUNW,CS4231" in the name field of the audio_device struc-
ture to indicate compatibility with other Ultra platforms.
The version field contains "a" and the config field contains
"pseudo."
However, on our system, the config field contains "onboard1" rather than
"pseudo". Any ideas?
Best regards,
Peter Åstrand
