from audioplay(1):

  HISTORY
       The audioplay program was first seen in SunOS 5.  The NetBSD audioplay
       was first made available in NetBSD 1.4.

And, yes, just checked, even NetBSD/hpcmips has an audioplay
command. (And why not ...)

I use sources cvs updated on the 1.5-branch (i. e. cvs update -dP
-rnetbsd-1-5), which is now called "NetBSD-1.5.3_RC1". I unpacked the
track point driver files and edited the "files" files according to
instruction and it worked on the first attempt. I did not try any
-current snapshot.


-current may be sufficiently different to break building a kernel with
those drivers.

Drivers and instructions are here:

Only problem I ever had was when I tried to build a kernel with the xi
network card driver. So I swapped cards and use the Xircom in my
normal laptop, and the 3com card (ep0, which works fine) in the z50.

My real problem compiling a hpcmips-kernel is that I only have 16 MB
RAM and only a 128 MB Compact Flash card, onto which I must also swap
:-(

No, 1.5.3_RC1, sorry if I confused anybody about the version I was
using.
