I'm new to OSS Programming, and I'm attempting

However OSS is telling me that my sound card will not play 8bit , only 16bit.
If I force it. The sound changes pitch, and is very fast. ( obviously ).
Is there anyway to convert 8bit to 16bit on the fly? I've noticed that XMMS
also fails to play the 8bit wav file correctly.
You can fix this by disabling XMMS's built in WAV reader and using XMMS_Sndfile
instead:
http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/XMMS/
which will also allow you to play a large number of other file types.
I've even tryed to convert the file from 8bit to
16bit using SOX. But with the
same results. I would like to support 8bit file wavs in my program as MOST of
the wavs available are in 8bit format...
For reading sound files from within a program libsndfile:
http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/libsndfile/
which is required by XMMS_Sndfile anyway. It contains an example program which
uses OSS to play back any sound file it can read.
