Should there be a standard format for files that
can be cat'ed to /dev/audio?
Pros: it would seem nice to be able to simply
cat file >/dev/audio no matter what terminal I'm using.
Cons: Picking some standard format locks us in
to either keeping redundant info, or throwing
potentially useful info away, as different machines
have different capabilities (8bit, 16bit, mono/stereo).
Any ideas?
The question is burning as I've got a SPARC and a 486
sitting here which have incompatible /dev/audios, and
that doesn't seem right for Plan 9.
