I didn't make any sound card configuration nor connected sound source.
It was just pure noice (no microphone attached).

/dev/dspW uses 16-bit little endian encoding and I only use less
significant 8 bits. As I read "Open Sound System" guide, on sound
device open it works in 8kHz mono mode. So that was my testing
environment.

I'm not an expert in this area, of course, just playing around and giving
a start for future research, I hope.
