I don't know what software is needed to make noise; I simply selected some packages that I thought would do the trick when I installed FBSD 4.4 (via sysinstall, assuming the dependencies would be taken care of), so I'm now wondering if I even have all that I need. I just had a look at my installed packages and found: $ pkg_info -aI | grep xmms $ pkg_info -aI | grep mpg $ pkg_info -aI | grep oss jbigkit-1.2 Lossless compression for bi-level images such as scanned pa $ pkg_info -aI | grep esound esound-0.2.22 A sound library for enlightenment package esound-0.2.8 a sound library for enlightenment package So, it looks like I already have esound... Perhaps I should try reinstalling it... Any other suggestions?
