.wavs play but not .mp3s

[David Benfell]

Hello all,

I'm not having any trouble playing .wav files; lame -h
seems to happily convert them, and mpg123 and madplay
don't complain when I ask them to play .mp3s, but I'm
also not hearing any sound.

xmms does nothing.  I'm not getting any visible errors
in any of this.

I tried using the sample command from the FreeBSD manual,
which specifies a device; I don't have dsp1.0 so I tried
dsp0.0 .

I have:

crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 45 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dsp0.0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 48 Mar  6 22:28 /dev/dsp0.1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 51 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dsp0.2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 54 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dsp0.3
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 57 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dsp0.4
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 61 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dsp0.5
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 46 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 49 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 52 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 55 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.3
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 58 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.4
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 62 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.5
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 60 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspr0.4
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 64 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspr0.5

So, why is this such a problem?
