when using xmms to play mp3's, I don't have issues.  If
I type to play a wav file under FreeBSD via the "play"
command, I receive the following error (as root and a
regular users):

play: /dev/dsp: Invalid argument

ls -la /dev/dsp*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  4 Mar  4 23:55 /dev/dsp -> dsp0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30,   3 Mar  5 21:28 /dev/dsp0

If I try to play this wav file from xmms, it works but
its not the complete (it doesn't play it all the way
through).  Granted I have not used the play command
much in FreeBSD, but it worked fine in that other
unix like o/s.  Any help would be apprecated
