Was hoping someone had some experience with the Ecasound, Ecawave or
Glame ports on FreeBSD. Basically I am in need of a *.wav editing app,
but I cannot get any of these ports to work properly. 

I am using the pro OSS drivers with a M-Audio Delta DiO 2496 on FreeBSD
4.5 Stable (had same results with 4.4 release before a format/rebuild)

I tried the Glame 0.5.4 port (which has not been updated to the latest
Linux version 0.6.0) ..it builds and starts up fine. I set it to the OSS
drivers and load a wav file. All seems good until I go to play the
file... at that point it just hangs and I have to kill the process.

Another wav editor I have tried is Ecawave. Again it builds and starts
up fine. I load a wav and go to play and I get a 
"Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

Another app I tried is the Ecasound command line utility. Also, I get an
error when playing back a file:
$ ecasound -i:test.wav -o /dev/dsp
ERROR: [ECA-CHAINSETUP] : "Enabling chainsetup: AUDIOIO-OSS: general OSS
error SNDCTL_DSP_GETBLKSIZE"

Aside from these errors my audio setup works fine. I do not run any
sound servers like (artsd or esound) and have my envy24.ratelock set to
OFF so the card can accept whatever sampling rate programs send to it.
Xmms, Realplayer, Mpg123 and Mplayer all work fine.

Anyone? 

Any help/feedback is appreciated. I need to do some audio work and hope
I don't have to downgrade to Linux ;-)
