[Vorbis-dev] Does libao use /dev/sound for audio ?

[Diptopal Basu]

Hi Michael ,

 Actually I will need to use ogg123 for some implementation hence libao .

So you mean even if my /dev/sound has problems I can use the vorbis
libraries ( not the libao , only the vorbis libraries ) ?

Regards
Diptopal
