I don't know anything such as cdplayer! In the ports (rel 2.2.6) I have: beaupran@outpost [10:27am] ~/.procmail> ls /usr/ports/audio/ CVS/ gsm/ nspmod/ sox/ xmcd/ Makefile kdemultimedia/ pkg/ splay/ xmix/ README.html maplay/ playmidi/ timidity/ xmmix/ amp/ mikmod/ radio/ tosha/ xmpeg3/ cam/ mpegaudio/ rosegarden/ tracker/ cddbd/ mpg123/ rplay/ workman/ cdplay/ mxv/ rsynth/ xcd/ gmod/ nas/ s3mod/ xcdplayer/ So I got a cdplay, a xcdplayer, but no cdplayer... :) > cdplayer works fine on the the PC.

Maybe what you should have done is: 1-fetch the source code from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/ 2-put it in /usr/ports/distfiles/ 3-fetch the port, if you do not have it already in /usr/ports/audio/ 4-cd /usr/ports/audio/cdplay (or xcdplayer, or whatever) 5-make install > The cdplayer program runs, it reads from the CD shows the tracks and > volume, it stops, plays and pauses and even ejects the CD tray.

If they have audio output, they gotta have a sound card of some sort. Have you konfigured your kernel to enable it? Check the output of the dmesg command (or the messages at boot time...) Your sound card got to be enabled at startup somehow... > (I tried rplayer from the packages collection on the CD but couldn't even > get that to work at all, does it even play CDs?) No. It's got almost nothing to do with "cdplaying". From the description: <><><><><><><><><><><> rplay is a flexible network audio system that allows sounds to be played to and from local and remote systems. <><><><><><><><><><><> Spidey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
