When I play mp3s or wavs, it progresses at decode time (which is fast :) but
without generating any sound, eg, just like redirecting to /dev/null.
When doing a "cat file.au > /dev/audio" or "dd if=/dev/audio of=sample.au
...", I get a "cat: write error: Invalid argument"
Quake plays sound just fine (!).
I have a SB 32, non PnP, with sound compiled as a module.
