Now if I could get ogg tunes to work on my linux boxen...
I have downloaded, compiled, and (maybe) installed several purported ogg packages. I've also fetched a small collection of tunes off the net. But so far, I haven't discovered the trick of getting sound waves from them.
F'rinstance, I have a directory full of libao-0.8.3, libogg-1.0, libvorbis-1.0, and vorbis-tools-1.0, all of which compiled without any obvious problems. But there don't seem to be any clues as to how I make the latest mozilla fire them up with it gets an ogg file.
I think I'm missing something somewhere. Or maybe ogg is just not for dummies like me.
