Thank you! I could setup the device so it can be shared between multiple
applications. I still have a problem. gaim has ESD, Arts and 'Custom
command' interfaces. I only have a shared dsp device so I need a simple
command line program that can play mp3, ogg, wav and au files. I looked
over the whole audio category here:
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/audio.html
but I could not find a simple program that can do this. There are
separate players for mpeg files, ogg files, wave files etc. But I could
not find a program that can play all of them. Do you know a good program
for this purpose?
Thanks,
Les
