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
([email protected]) 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
