v3:
nothing new. only a few minor changes & fixes.
the sndserver from the latest linux[sx]doom release doesnt work with sndcvt,
so i have included the (pre-patched) sndserver which came with the first
release of linuxXdoom.
there is also a hacked version of the latest sndserver, by Dave Madden
(dhm@vheissu.net.dcl.co.jp) which works with sndcvt, it can be found
on SunSite.
v2:
- support for pc speaker driver
(pcsndrv-0.7.tar.gz), not tested with earlier versions.
- support for mono soundcards
------
sndcvt
this is a little program to convert the 16bit sound of DOOM to 8bit sound,
for the poor guys who still own a SBpro or other 8 bit soundcard, like me..
to use it you have to patch sndserver.
replace all occurrences of "/dev/dsp" by "/tmp/dsp".
this can be done with sed.
$ sed s,/dev/dsp,/tmp/dsp,g < sndserver > sndserver.new
(dont forget to replace the old server with the new one,
and also make sure DOOM can find it (edit the pathname in .doomrc))
after that make a named pipe in /tmp
$ mknod /tmp/dsp p
All done.. startup sndcvt, and fire up DOOM..
happy dooming..

PS:
if you're having trouble getting sndcvt to work, send me the output of:
$ strace sndcvt -[smp] &> out
