Okay, DEC/NCI did get /dev/ossaudio working a while back (the 1.2G based
release - the one I still run). Having been out of the loop a bit here
w/respect to what people are doing with their Shaks, hang in with me. As I
recall, Jay Kistler had to do a lot of nasty hack work on this (there was a
song in the source code based on "Row Row Row your boat" entitiled "Hack Hack
Hack your kernel" for a while) to basically get an "almost Sound Blaster" mode
working to the extent that it looked like a sound blaster/au device but
behaved nearer an MS audio device on the back end (libossaudio is almost your
friend at user level - almost (*fx* Grins at Neil and Mark)).

Paul.
