/dev/dsp is supposed to be working, but the format of the data is
completely different from what you'd find on Unix.  The Windows DSP
accepts Wave files (.wav) as the raw data.  You can try "cat
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/Media/tada.wav > /dev/dsp" to see if it works on your
machine.

If your Unix program generates the data it writes to /dev/dsp, substantial
parts of it may need to be rewritten.
