Thanks.
>From the alsamixer manual,
"DESCRIPTION
alsamixer is an ncurses mixer program for use with the ALSA soundcard
drivers. It supports multiple soundcards with multiple devices."
A terminal with an ncurses display is necessary to listen to an audio message?
Now that the PCI sound card is gone, disambiguation appears to be unnecessary.
This command works.
play a42.WAV
Something odd in the sox manual.
-d, --default-device
This can be used in place of an input or output filename to
specify that the default audio device (if one has been built
into SoX) is to be used. This is akin to invoking rec or play
(as described above).
What is the sense in telling a software to use a default? In absence of
an output specification, what else would be used?
peter@joule:/home/peter$ sox /home/peter/a42.WAV /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c
sox FAIL formats: can't determine type of `/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c'
Can sox specify a sound device for output?
Thx, ... P.
