I don't need "sound server support" - all I want is to play MP3 files
(mplayer) and watch utUbe videos. And the occasional game of warzone2000.
I leave default options for firefox and mplayer. In this case, Mplayer
uses OSS (FreeBSD's native sound driver interface) directly, and Firefox
uses sndio to access it. Both work very well*. No sound server is
needed, nor do these apps' ports attempt to install one.
* provided I am not disconnecting the sound device in middle of playback
- that always causes a problem, unless I do run a sound server, such as
virtual_oss.
