Hi,
Great forum this, I've learnt a lot about Linux from it and especially for the Little Linux Laptop I have.
I would like some help on understanding the audio system on these boxes?
I've got a cnmBook from Maplins, and I want to use the sound system to create tones for learning morse code. There is a program called CW on the debian archive that is ideal. It has a library called unixcw that I have downloaded and unpacked successfully with the program as well.
When I run the program all I hear are clicks that are at the beginning and end of each dot or dash. They vary according to which character I send so I am sure the program is running OK. CW -h gives me a command summary.
The program has command options to select the sound card, console speaker as output device. The soundcard default is /dev/audio which is listed in the /dev directory of the LLL. I assume that this is a generic audio device and therefore should work. There is also a /dev/mixer command line option as well.
When i set the option -s /dev/audio the program responds "No such device"?
Any pointers to how to drive the audio system on the LLL appreciated. A tone generator program would be ideal but I couldnt find anything on the Debian mipsel depository. I have the GCC compiler running OK.
Many thanks in advance.
Paul
