One idea - rather than using snd_pcm_open would it be possible to just open
/dev/dsp? (e.g. the same way the irivermidi code works when running on
C - pasted below hopefully)
Just a thought .. all of that snd_pcm_xxx looks more complex than I
suspect it needs to be


void initSound()

{

//OSS Stuff, set the sampling rate, etc: 48000, Mono, 16bit

fd=open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY); // | O_NONBLOCK);

int arg, status;

int bit, samp, ch;


arg = 16; // sample size

status = ioctl(fd, SOUND_PCM_WRITE_BITS, &arg);

status = ioctl(fd, SOUND_PCM_READ_BITS, &arg);

bit=arg;



arg = 1; //Number of channels, 1=mono

status = ioctl(fd, SOUND_PCM_WRITE_CHANNELS, &arg);

status = ioctl(fd, SOUND_PCM_READ_CHANNELS, &arg);

ch=arg;


arg = SAMPLE_RATE; //Yeah. sampling rate

status = ioctl(fd, SOUND_PCM_WRITE_RATE, &arg);

status = ioctl(fd, SOUND_PCM_READ_RATE, &arg);

samp=arg;


//Print out what we *actually* got.. not that the program

//pays attention to these values anyway

printf("\nDSP Says:\n%dHz %dCh %dbit", samp, ch, bit);

}
