Do you promise I will not damage my speakers if I try this?

Can you filter the output of /dev/random to give different effects?

FF 3.0.12 on Ubuntu 8.04 and I have never seen this behavior. This post was a quick reply and took about 10 minutes to type

Sure. As long as you don't crank up the volume.

Hmm. I'd guess you want something less random for that or mixing in another source.

I do understand.

Code:
There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Theres too much confusion
I cant get no relief
Businessman they drink my wine
Plow men dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
Hey hey

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke but uh
But you and I weve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hours getting late
Hey
