I installed my SoundBlaster Pro card in my FreeBSD-1.1.5 system and it seems to  
be correct, at least it's found at boot time. My question now is how do I play  
stuff through it? I'd like to be able to play .au and .wav files at least.  
Which package should I install? Netaudio looks promising but as I read it it  
needs a server somewhere. I don't have a CD-ROM so I'm not looking for  
something to play a CD, just something to play sound files. Any suggestions for  
sound players will be appreciated.
