      It was before OSS was taken over by ALSA (and other things) for sound. OSS let you play loose and fast and was very forgiving. I just tried using pulseaudio to do it and barely got a burble of static out of it.

        That is super rad. I wonder how hard it would be to replicate today.

        We could have a “RAMcore” subgenre. I wonder how running different processes affects the sound?

        Imagine if the German underground scene discovered RAM noises. . .damn, RAMmstein is already taken. XD

        All seriousness though…I now wanna know what my RAM sounds like. Lol

          Stand up an old VM that still has OSS. I screwed around with current drivers and didn’t get anything cool sounding.
