Various things I've done and what results they have:
cat something.wav > /dev/dsp0
Outputs the .wav file (very loud) correctly with a bit of static at the end.
X11Amp (Built from ports tree, running in KDE which was also built from
ports tree. XFree86 installed via /stand/sysinstall before AWE card was
set up.)
Apparently opens the file fine, but will not play it. The numeric time
display doesn't show anything, nor do the Kbps, KHz, and mono|stereo LEDs.
Clicking the play button makes these all light up for a split second and go
blank again. I was successfully playing MP3s when I had the pcm driver
working (well sorta working, but the MP3s played fine.)
kmp3 (Built from ports tree.)
This one is weird. It opens the MP3s OK as well, then upon hitting 'play'
it will show the numeric display counting very fast. I think it is
decoding the .mp3 as fast as it can, because it will go anywhere from 3-5
times normal speed. No audio output whatsoever.
playmidi (Built from ports tree.)
This one will play about 90% of my .mid files. Output is audible though
not especially great sounding (could be the .mid files, they're kinda old).
I think I once got some errors on the console to the effect of "4 byte
event in mode 2" or somesuch, but I can't remember how to reproduce them.
The few files that playmidi won't play are just silent, although it doesn't
crash or complain at all.
KDE Midi player (Came with KDE)
Opens and tries to play .mid files, but there is no audio output. No
errors, it progresses through the entire song w/o any output then stops.
xgmod (Built from ports tree.)
I D/Led two .mod files and tried this, it seemed to work fine. A few
visual peculiarities with the program (disappearing buttons and such) but
played the .mod files without a hitch. Compilation wasn't very pretty,
alot of warnings. Many about comparing signed and unsigned integers.
The awesfx and playmidi ports installed fine. I did a sfxload before
trying any of the .mid stuff. Trying to 'make install' in the awemidi
directory resulted in:
===> Extracting for awemidi-0.4.2b
>> Checksum OK for awemidi-0.4.2b.tgz.
===> awemidi-0.4.2b depends on executable: wish4.1 - not found
===> Verifying install for wish4.1 in /usr/ports/x11/tk41
>> No directory for wish4.1. Skipping..
===> awemidi-0.4.2b depends on executable: gmake - found
===> awemidi-0.4.2b depends on shared library: awe - not found
===> Verifying install for awe in /usr/ports/audio/awesfx
===> Returning to build of awemidi-0.4.2b
Error: shared library "awe" does not exist
*** Error code 1 \
> (Repeated 6 more times)
Stop. /
Any ideas? Would it be beneficial to dance and chant spells while swinging
a dead cat over my head and sticking pins into a Bill Gates voodoo doll?
