mplayer + xmms issue!

[Mailing Lists Catcher]

Are you getting any sounds at all?
Check in /dev to see if you even have a sound device.  My guess is no.

All sound drivers (I believe) are disabled initially.  Check out
/boot/defaults/loader.conf and /boot/loader.conf.  Also the Handbook has
a sound card section.

Most PCs have a cable connected directly from the CDROM to the sound
card so CDs might play even if FreeBSD is not setup to use your sound
card.
