address@hidden audio]$ ./mono_tone.py --help
usage: mono_tone.py [options]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -dDEVICE, --device=DEVICE
                        pcm device name.  E.g., hw:0,0


For OSS audio, try using -d /dev/dsp

Basically the -d device option provides the argument passed into
whatever audio module you've got loaded.  OSS and ALSA use different
syntax.
