rplay README.sun - Notes for SunOS 4.1.x and Solaris 2.x users.

* audioamd

SPARCstation 1, 2, IPC, IPX, SLC, ELC, LC (classic), and SPARCserver 6xx
systems have a "audioamd - telephone quality audio device".  This
device supports 8-bit u-law encoded audio data sampled at 8000Hz.
See `man audioamd' for more details.

* dbri

SPARCstation 10, 10SX, 20, LX have a "dbri - Dual Basic Rate ISDN Interface
and audio interface".  This device supports configrations which range
from 8-bit u-law 8000Hz to stereo 16-bit linear 48000Hz.
See `man dbri' for more details.

* clicks

The dbri audio device may "click" when it's opened using the open
system call.  These clicks can be avoided by forcing rplayd to always
keep the audio device open.   Use either `-c0' or `--audio-close=0'.

* SS5

The SPARCstation 5 running SunOS 4.1.x requires the `ms2' patch to get
audio working properly.

* SPARCserver 4/6xx and probably 4/4xx using SunOS 4.1.x.

The device driver on these systems does not accept *any* audio port
value in the audio_info_t structure when using AUDIO_SETINFO.
To fix this, rplayd must be run with `--audio-port=none'.
