I'm not a linux user (I don't even have it on a system at home)
But I've seen someone using
copy dev/harddrive01 dev/snd01
and it produces gobbledygook into the sound card.
You can copy the system random number generator to the dev/sound too.
I would assume you could then use a program that's a pipe/filter to do
audio processing in the command line interface.
Is that the train of thought you're on?

Apologies if I sound bloody ignorant in this:
I gather that most linux-based audio programming systems would be playing with some basic interface provided by the system. I wonder for instance if some basic sounds can be produced using the shell or some kind of very rudimentary program that instructs the sound card to, say, produce a square or sine wave. As it is a stream of numbers, I wonder what is that underlying process which converts it to sound?
If I'm not wrong, both pure data and ChucK would be using this same underlying system in Linux. Can anyone elucidate with an example? I'm just trying to look beneath the surface here...
