Hallo,
I've just started with freebsd some time ago. I want to forward my sound 
from my server wtih FreeBSD to my other computer. I used esd for this.
On my computer (with windows) I have found a port from cygwin for esd. I 
forwarded my sound from my FreeBSD with the command:
esdplay -s 10.10.10.20 wned.wav
Where 10.10.10.20 is my windows machine and wned is a wav file. Then I 
listened on my windows machine with the command:
esd -promiscuous -tcp -public
It worked, I heard the sound. Then Iwanted to forward sound from other 
programs. I did this wtih esddsp. I used the command:
esddsp -s 10.10.10.20 mpg123 *.mp3


I have got the  error : bus error
bash-2.05b$ esddsp -v -s 10.10.10.20 -m mpg123 U2_walk_on.mp3
server:         10.10.10.20
name:           mpg123
command line:   mpg123 U2_walk_on.mp3

Bus error


If I change the port it doesn't work it still gives the same error. Only 
if the port of esd and esddsp aren't equal or I don't listen with esd to 
the sound my freebsd machine doesn't give an error.

I hope someoen could help me with this problem so I will quickly be able 
to use FreeBSD more often and throw windows after some time away.
