Hi, Hannu
I made a few tests with the sound driver (my card is SB16 ASP). Some of them were crazy enough to produce strange results.
1. Writing 1 byte to /dev/dsp forced the driver to play 4K bytes. Of cource the rest 4095 bytes were noise. I realised that smallest piece of samples/bytes the driver can play is 4K.
2. Writing 4097 bytes made the driver play two buffers. Again the rest 4095 bytes from the second buffer were garbage.
I realise that is very hard to have all cases in mind, but using SB under Linux for something different than playback/record will produce strange(incorrect) results. regards, Petkan
