So the PLIB sound library managed to open the /dev/dsp device - but when
it tried to tell it to run in mono/8bit, the Open Sound System (OSS)
driver told us that it didn't support 8 bit audio?!?

That's very strange - I believe that all OSS devices support 8 bit.

Dunno - do those files exist in the directory you are running the
program in?  They are certainly present in the CVS archive.  Maybe
they don't have the right permissions?

Dummo - I can't explain why a working sound device wouldn't support
a simple 8 bit monoaural channel.
