OSS and SoX

[scrman]

Trying to use rec from the SoX port, but I keep getting this:

# rec --device=/dev/dsp0 testsox.mp3
Send break (control-c) to end recording
sox: Failed reading /dev/dsp0: Invalid audio buffer size 0
#


play doesn't seem to work either. But, if I use a native FreeBSD audio driver, they both work. Google didn't help, I found a couple very old Linux related messages.

Thanks

use /usr/lib/oss/bin/ossrecord instead.

use /usr/lib/oss/bin/ossrecord and /usr/lib/oss/bin/ossplay instead.

But I need to be able to send the result to stdout. Is ossrecord able to do that? (I didn't make that obvious in my example.)

Actually I found the solution late last night: copy /usr/local/lib/oss/include/sys/soundcard.h to /usr/include/sys/ and the reinstall SoX.

Thanks,
