I don't think that's so hackish, that's how UNIX is supposed to work and why the "everything is a file" thing is nice. :-) If you like you can also write numbers to the file that represent your soundcard, at least on Linux you can (you may want to disable some of those pesky modern drivers first). As I understood the discussion that is exactly what is planned and partially what people are already doing, but the problem is setting properties like the baud rate and so on. I like this, I'm quite in favour of simple things that work; it's rarely the simple things that ruin my day and when they do they tend to do so in ways that are at least predictable. Yours, Kas.
