My problem was that I was already running the NAS server "auvoxware" which blocked RealAudio from the devices it needed. Killing off "auvoxware" allowed RealAudio to work just fine. I needed a "viewer" for wav, au, and snd files to replace NAS. I am now using "rplay" as a replacement for NAS, because it's server is controlled by "inetd", it will release the audio device so that RealAudio can work too. I am pretty happy. Some notes: 1. I had better sound quality with NAS than with rplay 2. Make sure you turn down the volume on rplay it is LOUD at the default setting (127); I have mine set to 8 I also have "playmidi" working, so I can handle those file now too. NAS, rplay, and playmidi are all in the ports collection. I got RealAudio from http://www.realaudio.com/ Now, anyone have any "ShockWave" or "Cresendo" solutions for FreeBSD? :-} -- | John Lucas jlucas@jnet.vi | | Information Technology NIC Handle: JL423 | | University of the Virgin Islands (809) 693-1216 | | St. Thomas, VI 00802 http://www.jnet.vi/jlucas.html |
