	I think that one of the beautiful aspects of LGDC is that there could be
great feedback for your article. I know Bert Peers, who has written two
lengthy articles has gottten some feedback on his. 

	*If* you did something incorrectly, you will know. People will tell
you...hopefully in a helpful way. And, if that happens, well, we can write
up an addendum and make it a follow up article whic would be doubly
instructive! :)

	Write it up and post it to this mailing list. If it is very bad, I'm sure
there are enough people here who'll spot obvious errors. As to "Is using
/dev/dsp the best thing?" question, you are right. There is so little on
Linux sound that it is a hard question for me to answer.
