I use the rplay sound server on my -current machine, which seems to work very fine and seems to have some advantages over nas for my favour. Rplay recognizes most audio formats (.wav/.au/.aiff/etc..) offers a library for use in application programs as well as some nice tools which are being distributed along with rplay. The current version (3.2.0.b5) is available from ftp.sdsu.edu in /pub/rplay and should compile without problems on FreeBSD. On the other hand there is the nas (network audio system) package available in the ports collection which is also able of playing .wav files over networks etc. But my favoured candidate stays rplay. The last thing I know of are some small tools simply called "play" and "record" which play/record sounds in wav file format directly from/to /dev/dsp. But I'm sorry I do not have the sources for these tools anymore, just the binaries. Regards, mickey -- (__) (@@) Andreas S.
