Does "cat < /dev/dsp > testfile" and then "cat testfile > /dev/dsp" work?
ie, is recording working at all on your Linux box?

If so, and thus the question is the Squeak code, you might look at the
OSS code on SourceForge.  It's not full duplex, but that's because
the last time I checked full-duplex didn't work in the image, either.
Anyway, getting full duplex to work should be a lot easier than getting
all the format conversions to work.  There are some functions squeakToCard()
and cardToSqueak() which might be handy, even if you rewrite all the rest
of it.

Incidentally, the formats are different for recording and playback.  I
posted a changeset that updates the comments for this, but I don't know
if they got included in any image.  I can dig up those comments again if
it would help -- it took me a few hours to trace it all down!
