OK, then how about this:
- Use sox' "-d" for the output if saytime "-o" and "-b" aren't
specified. This hopefully makes the most common case just DTRT.
- Add a "-t [foo]" option that's passed straight through to sox
(rather than hard-coding alsa/oss).
- Rely on sox's default output-file whenever "-o" is not specified
(instead of just hard-coding "/dev/audio)).
This won't break existing invocations of saytime, but there is a
possibility it will change their behavior. i.e. say someone was using
"saytime" which right now defaults to OSS and /dev/audio. These changes
will cause it to switch to sox's default, which might or might not be
the same.
Of course, it also makes sox even more overtly dependent on sox, but the
alternative is to hard-code/validate the backend set, which I'm not sure
is better.
Thanks
