Subject:   MediaPlayer like tool for FreeBSD?

Is there a Media Player like program available under FreeBSD?

Now that I have my answering machine mailing me my messages in
ADPCM format, I'd like to do the following:

When I select to "play" the voice mail from elm, I want to send
the file to a "Media Player" that will appear on my X console and
let me do media player type manipulations of the message.
(mostly just replay it)

Currently I just pipe the file to vplay.

My setup is such that often times my mail, my X display, and my soundcard
are in different machines.  Basically I'm hoping to arrange a setup
along the lines of:

    using metamail and elm:

	 msg_play &  (where msg_play does:)
	     rcp's adpcm format messages to machine_with_soundcard
	     rsh machine_with_soundchard Xmediaplayer -display \
		 myXdisplay:0 message

I'm currently doing the above, just without a "MediaPlayer" type tool.

I have a similar setup for faxes, postscript documents, and MPEG clips,
using gv, gv, and tmplay (from talisman MPEG decoder).

Someone responded that nas might have the functionality I need.

Let me know if you can think of any others.

thanks,
