When using winsound with -odevaudio, it finds four wavout devices on my
system (numbered 0 through 3) but then repeats the text 'Select device
number' and over and over. I've tried -odevaudio0, and -odac0, none of
which seem to work (they create files). How do I specify the wavout device
number?

I would imagine the midi-in device is specified using similar commandline
syntax, (or modifying the winsound.ini?) whatever it may be.. 

I checked the FAQ and even grepped the master unix source, but found
nothing. 

Thanks!

Subject: Win95 (3.47 beta) midi and devaudio

I dont have a soundblaster compatible soundcard (Its a Turtle Beach
Multisound Pinnacle) and I'm guessing thats why I had trouble with
-odevaudio and -Msbmidi.

Is it possible to instruct csound or winsound to use the Win95 drivers for
wavout and midi in?

The message 
    Select device number
is expecting you to type a number.  It may be that there is noone
listening to the terminal at that time I suppose.

I dislike adding new options, so at present I am not sure what one
shoudl do.  i used to use device zero always, but someone objected.

I could add an Environment variable or something in the .ini file
reasonably easily.  What do you suggest?  I suppose I could even throw
up a dialog box at that time -- yeak.
