Thanks, guys! After only a few minutes, I got three responses to my
question. I think this is some kind of record!

I guess everyone is celebrating their Easter sunday by peering into their
monitor screens :-)

Now for the bad news: I'm still having problems with the OSS dac output
that with-sound uses, with my GUS clasic. It stops outputing after about 1
second, and all
subsequent write() calls return immediately with -1. In general, I've been
having a lot of problems with sound output on my Linux 2.0.18 PC with the
i430FX IDE chipset. I've tried both the OSS and the specific GUS driver
written by that guy in .cz . Wavplay works fine, however, so I suppose I
could set that global variable to use wavplay. I'm just wondering why the
code in dacs.c isn't working for me. I've pored over it and everything
looks fine - I wonder if it's something to do with ACL. Well, I don't
expect you guys to troubleshoot what is probably a system configuration
problem, but I thought I'd at least mention it, just in case someone
happened to have run across the same thing.
