Which version of FreeBSD are you using? If you're using 4.x you are missing out on MMX/SSE optimizations because of gcc 2.95. I'm working on a work around to use gcc 3.4 and not break compatibility with liveMedia and maybe other ports so vlc on 4.x can use MMX/SSE. I'm also adding a new knob to vlc some time today which will be "WITH_PORTAUDIO" which will use ports/audio/portaudio which will be yet another audio out put plugin. > > When I run vlc from cli, I always get > "oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp)" > > I have tried "chmod 666 /dev/dsp" with no avail. > > Does anyone else have this??
