'aucat -l' is running (from rc.conf.local).
The file is just fine, sox plays it all right.
When I convert the file to 16bit, mplayer plays it too.

What is the problem here? mplayer tries to open
/dev/audio directly (using libao) instead of connecting
to the aucat server? Or is this a libao problem?
The second run (playing the 16bit file) seems to suggest
mplayer does know how to talk to sndio (a running aucat).
So why doesn't mplayer try to use sndio in the 24bit case, too?
Thanks
Jan
