padPseudo audio device driver

pseudo-device pad
audio* at audiobus?

pad is a pseudo-device driver which provides support for feeding back PCM data from a consumer of the audio(4) API to userland.

The pad pseudo-device driver receives data from /dev/soundN and feeds the raw PCM output to /dev/padN.

The following example streams an MP3 to an Apple AirTunes compatible device:

$ rtunes - < /dev/pad0 &
$ mpg123 -a /dev/sound1 mozart.mp3

The pad driver appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
