/opt/audio/bin/convert (on an A class)

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

# ./convert ../sounds/welcome.au welcome.l16
Error: Bad Audio Connection

I presume becuase
# /opt/audio/bin/Aserver
failed to open /dev/audioIL - Aserver exiting

Do I really need Audio hardware to do the conversion?

I don't have a graphical console and can still convert bmps to jpegs etc...

Later,
Bill

Yes Bill. Convert won't work if Aserver is not running.

Yes Bill. Convert won't work if Aserver is not running.

I had this problem while converting some au files to wav and I had to add the driver.

Yes, you need the audio hardware.

Hi Bill,



The SOX libraries under Linux should be able to do this.



Hey, don't the HP X terminals run the Aserver?

yea Chuck the xt's would work great, but do you know how hard it is to find one these days! (especially one with Audio hardware!!)
