yes i am substituting a name of real file(/etc/fstab)
Well, don't expect that to work, other than give you strange noises.
I'd try getting your hands on something like an ogg file, then playing
it with "ogg123", or a wav file and playing it with "play".
e.g. ogg123 sound-file.ogg
or play /usr/share/sounds/generic.wav
You probably have the play command and that generic wav file by default.
If not, you should be able to find one somewhere on your system with a
command line like: locate wav |grep usr
I am not getting any weird sounds (i was expecting a beep) when i
send
something to that device that is why i am worried.
I don't know why you expect some random file to make a specific noise,
like a beep. I can see your problem perhaps being due to a couple of
things: Expecting something unrealistic, or that your sound card is not
set up right.
You could try running "/usr/bin/system-config-soundcard" to try and fix
the latter.
