As part of a bigger project, I need to develop a

from a file and feeds it to sound driver. Is it possible to develop such a
module without actually writing device driver, I mean just by using existing
functions such as snd_pcm_open and all that ? Can someone throw more light on
this ?
Why not just use aplay?
$ cat myfile | aplay -
... or so. For raw PCM data, you should use the correct aplay options to
specify the format. See the manpage.
You used to be able to do this with OSS:
$ cat myfile > /dev/dsp
I don't know if this is still possible with ALSA.
