NAS for FreeBSD (the one on the 2.1R CD-ROM, at least) has a minor,
but annoying bug in the libraries that prevents it from properly
guessing the default audio server. Try setting AUDIOSERVER to
``localhost:0'' or even ``tcp/localhost:0'' (This is off the top of my
head; I'm certain I've got the syntax/environment variable wrong,
check the man pages for the correct syntax.) I've worked out the
one-line patch to the libraries, but keep forgetting to send it to the
appropriate authority. <sigh>
