Hadn't before, but I will now, thanks.  I was kinda less than overjoyed that
audacious forced me to abandon artsd (maybe I did something wrong?) but moving
to esound fixed it.  I tried to move to jack, but the freebsd-specific help
stinks on that ... I *think* it's trying to force me to use the Linux audio
driver, which I *won't* do.

I have jdk 1.6 working amazingly well, so next stop is a look at atunes, for my
curiosity ... because I have to admit, audacious fits my requirements.  Amarok
just wouldn't build, a C++ compile error.  I *do* know c++, but I'm just no
expert in it, so troubleshooting C++ isn'[t my first choice (hell, I truly
dislike C++ for the specific reason that it's hard to troubleshoot, even for
experts.)  They've tossed in so many "features" ....
