Thanks Andrew!

Sorry for getting delayed a bit with my last reply as am on 2 different 
machines which don't auto update regularly.....

Anyhow it works now and just managed to hack out XMMS2 as well so I have 
a fully audible server now :-)

I remember I did this before on my first build, however in the mean time 
I think I panicked as I have to go  back home tomorrow which means a 4 
hour flight so time constraints got the better of me this time.

Hey not too bad though as this is really the second build with FreeBSD 
that I've ever done so all is pretty cool ;-)

Regards,
