[comp.mail.multi-media] What Do I need for SOund on Sparcstation ?

sudhir@bond.metaphor.com (Sudhir Walvekar) (04/30/91)

I would appreciate if anyone could provide answers to these questions.

1. What Hardware do I need to have audio support on my Sparcstation ( with X )
   and how much does it cost and where can I get it ?
2. Where can I get the 'play' program to play the sound ?

Thanks !

1. SparcStations always come with an audio board (/dev/audio).
2. Look in /usr/games for play, record, and soundtool (SunView) for
   playback and recording.
3. There are X players also available on the Internet.  Will post the
   address later.

Sometimes they seem to live in /usr/demo/SOUND rather than /usr/games.
