That hasn't been an issue on FreeBSD so far. My complaint with esound
is that it doesn't recognize Ogg files. My complaint with aRTs is that
the volume is erratic, and many sounds are delayed a bit behind the
associated event.

So, is there an audio server along the lines of aRTs and esound that
will play Ogg files, along with the other standard formats?
