The command I used is: > sox -t wav dialog8k.wav -t au -r 44100 /dev/audio > and several variations. What command should I use? The type of Linux and FreeBSD's /dev/audio isn't 'au', but instead 'ossdsp'. SunOS and NetBSD's type is 'sunau'. You can then leave off the -r, as it will be able to issue the IOCTL to the audio device indicating the appropriate sampling rate. Convinently, sox usually comes with a script called "play" which does exactly what it sounds like. :) (FWIW, I believe the audio device defaults to a sampling rate of 8kHz, so if you'd done -r 8000 it would've come out a bit closer to right. :) - Jay Kominek Plus =C3=A7a change, plus c'est la m=C3=AAme chose
