using the pc speaker as sound card

using the pc speaker as sound card

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, As my professional emu 1820 is listed as the emu 12 12M and gets no 
audio output at all is there a way until drivers are ready for it I can use 
the small speaker built into my pc for software speech?  What simple command 
can I try first to turn the play back volumes up all of the way in alsa to 
try before going with the pc speaker method?

I stand to be corrected, but I don't believe that gnu/linux allows you
to use the pc speaker as a sound card. Even if it did, the quality of
audio produced by the pc speaker would probably be so bad, that you
wouldn't be able to understand even a clear synth like espeak anyway.

"its mono, its 6 bit and the sampling rate is too low to specify:)"
(it seems to be 18KHz, not that bad, it's better than the phone)

Hi, With the speakup modified debian kernels would it be possible in then 
ext release if this driver could be added?  Why is it not already in alsa?
