- Yes, and you can play other sound samples too.. If you use
- 'SOX' which can convert sound samples, you can play just
- about anything..
-
- There is also some MIDI programs, and a music player
- that plays AMIGA ST-MOD music files..

-
- Very easy to do.. Just make the source code fork() and
- cat the sample to /dev/dsp..
-
- Or you can send the sample data directly from rogue..
-
- What I would like to see, is Sound under X..
