Anyway what I really meant to say was that I've got a test kernel with
a working audio driver available at:
http://www.york.ac.uk/~cg110/riscbsd/audio/

it's a standard RISCPC kernel compiled with a sup last night.

it works in 16 bit mode, and fingers crossed in 8 bit mode.

NB there is no Beep device in this kernel.

I suggest using audioctl to play samples as the audio driver defaults to
8000Hz mono mulaw, so unless that's what you want you need to use
audioctl, see the audioctl and audio pages.

I do need feed back on how well the drivers work.

known bugs:
8bit mono mulaw when played in 16 bit mode only plays half the sample
this is the high level audio drivers fault not mine.

In 8bit mode sound might not be produced.

The play.rate might not be accurate, ie the rate may be a multiple of
the expected rate.

Cheers,
Chris
