Good question. I just know that /dev/dsp is (will be) in 1.5.10.
Seems though that that one isn't actually out yet...

So, in order to make it work with 1.5.9, try to replace "cat /dev/dsp"
with "record.exe" in my previous example.
(record.exe is a small C++ Program I just hacked down and compiled with MingW.
 Hopefully it works- I currently don't have access to a real Windows system
 to test it. :)
 It's at 
    http://www.quiss.org/tmp/record.exe
 .

swftools *should* run out of the box, after the usual 
"./configure; make; make install" ritual, especially since you only need
swfcombine, wav2swf and swfdump, which don't require any special libraries.
