Greetings:

I just installed FreeBSD 4.2.  I am now looking to get sound and my cd
player working.  I have tried to use a couple of cd-players in X, but
keep getting the message : (in this example form xcdplayer)

open:  : Device not configured

How do I setup my cd-player under FreeBSD?  Do these cdplayer programs
default to trying to use /dev/cdrom (which was the case in Linux)?  If
so, how do I work around this.  Also, what permissions are needed to
allow a 'normal' user the correct access?

I also need to setup sound support in general.  I know that under Linux
my soundcard (Ensoniq AudioPCI) used the es1370 driver.  Under FreeBSD I
have been getting a message from one program saying :

cannot open output file /dev/dsp: permission denied

I have looked in my copy of 'The Complete FreeBSD' , but have found
nothing that helps me get my sound working.
Any help is appreciated.

Thomas
