Try using `padsp tee /dev/audio` >& /dev/null For example: sudo cat /dev/mem | `padsp tee /dev/audio` >& /dev/null

  Yes yes. The existence of that silliness is kind of my point. There's nothing "wrong" with Linux audio from a technical/feature standpoint. But the aesthetics are a frothing mess. It's not a clean design. The /dev/audio device on SunOS 4.1 was a clean design (albeit one that solved a much simpler problem). That sanity wasn't preserved in the march to modernity, and it sucks.

    The design is pretty similar to how every other modern OS does it, I think - what would you change if you had the choice? I mean, it's not as clean as things were, but we've come a long way since then in terms of features so obviously simplicity is going to suffer. Worth the trade off, in my opinion :)

  You can also use pacat Example: `cat /dev/urandom | pacat`
