  Yeah, I know the OSS emulation works great.. I had done my original
development of /dev/audio stuff with its emulation..

  I use the emu10k1 driver that comes with linux kernel 2.2.17... Not
sure that will help any.

  I've found with my SB LIVE that /dev/dsp would play files instead of
/dev/audio when I had had a botched setup. I'm not exactly sure what
the difference is between the two but I think that /dev/audio is just
the generic sound interface while /dev/dsp is for digital sound.

  I'm not sure what to suggest at this point... Have you checked
your mixer (perhaps peepd is playing on a channel that's turned
down?).

  Does anyone else have Peep working on Debian that can make some
suggestions?
