See [Handbook, Chapter 7] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/multimedia.html and Dru Lavigne, `Using sound on FreeBSD', http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/09/19/FreeBSD_Basics.html > Also, whats the most commonly used or popular CD + DVD burning > software used in BSD? Perhaps `cdrecord' from the `sysutils/cdrtools' port. See [Handbook, Section 17.6] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html HTH, Raghavendra. -- N.
