I've even got an X-server up and running and all is fine but ... I cannot yet play any audio files. I want to play a wav-file and I'm almost certain (I've tried) that writing blocks of shorts to /dev/dsp on my W98 machine will not do the trick. Can anybody explain to me what I need to be able to play a wav-file from my cygwin-compiled program? Tia. Zaphod B. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
