Build your kernel with snd0 and other soundblaster options ... look LINT 2. Boot your new kernel goto /dev ./MAKEDEV snd0 should do it. 3. As root pkg_add nas package. 4. Run NAS server with au & 5. Now you can do au____ -a localhost:0 xxx.au Don't forget "-a localhost:0" it tell's how to connect with NAS server. Read the manual more carefully. Just remember if you run the NAS server it will lock your /dev/audio so you can't not run (use the audio) other program which use /dev/audio. For example xanim will go silent. TIPS: I don't think you need NAS to use with Netscape. Xanim will do almost all movie with sound. And a simple cat xxx.au > /dev/audio will buzz your speaker. Then a simple sound converter will convert .wav (etc) to .au format as well. Hope this help. ZAI.
