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
