I tried this today - there's a port (not committed yet - see GNATs for the
PR) that I grabbed to try it.
The port is ... messed up. It will try to fetch the wrong files - you
need to remove the "-freebsd" from the various files to be fetched. Once
that's done it built and installed okay. Not a big deal.
You then need to manually set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as it needs a special
library not in /compat/linux. Again - not a big deal.
Once it's compiled I tried playing the trailer mpeg. Ugh - the sound was
horrific (read noise and no actual discernible sounds). I'm using the
regular sound drivers (snd0 and its associates). I thought maybe it
needed Luigi's sound code so I recompiled the kernel to use it and removed
the snd0 and associates. Afterwards I noticed immediately that for some
reason sound only came out of the right speaker. Playing WAV files w/
splay was also strange as it would play a WAV file through like 1.5 times
instead of just once. It would also sometimes play the previous WAV when
a new one was chosen. Hmmm... I mucked around w/ it a bit and couldn't
get it to play through both speakers so I gave up, moved kernel.old back
to kernel and rebooted. I don't think I ever actually tried the trailer w/
Luigi's code though. That was dumb. :-P
If anyone has success w/ this I'd be happy to hear about it (or if anyone
knows why I was having strange results w/ Luigi's code).
Brett
