How can you programmatically tell that audio is playing or at least being sent to the soundcard? I've got an application that occasionally fails to pick up a remote stream, but the process hangs around so I can't tell that it failed just by checking the process list. I would like to be able to tell if the application is sending audio or not so I can retry. I've checked the archives, googled, and tried cat'ing /dev/audio (which seems to return data whether or not audio is playing). -- Christian Brink cb...@r-... |
