You may have to tweak them a little bit... Check out ftp.iuma.com they have tons of mpeg sound files and a fun to follow html page. In the same site , you can find mpeg_play with very little effort you can compile mpeg_play for FreeBSD . I just defined linux in the include file. Originally, I just tweak mpeg_play to work with FreeBSD and arrived at nearly the same linux implementation... wcarchive.cdrom.com:/.11/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/audio ncftp>ls Makefile maplay/ rplay/ tracker/ xmcd/ gmod/ nas/ s3mod/ xcd/ gsm/ playmidi/ sox/ xcdplayer/ * playmidi is okay for playing midi files. * gmod is a gus tracker so when you are playing mod files you don't chewed up your cpu. * nas NCD Network Audio System in ftp.x.org/contrib/....

I think that special software you may be thinking about is to play the audio cd , to enable the input channel , and output channel on the GUS. VAT is good to have to listen on the net :) (Yes, I know you are probably going to be using your GUS at home...) If memory does not failed fvwm has support for sound so you can have effects like in the MAC. exmh has support for sound also you can setup exmh so that it plays a sound when you get mail. So by using MIME you can send/receive a voice note to someone. I think ACM, the flight simulator, has support for sound .... Amancio
