Some programs will refuse to play unsupported formats, others will just try to play them as raw data - which isn't going to work properly. > paplay just hangs without doing anything; Looks like it mightn't support ogg, either. I thought I recalled that it did, but maybe I was playing another file format, at the time. When I tried it, just now, I got an error message: Failed to open file 'test.ogg' If it were hanging, then I think you have a problem with pulseaudio, as paplay is a utility for working with it. > ogg123 does not seem to exist on my Fedora-12/KDE system; That comes from vorbis-tools, and I thought that got installed by default. But perhaps that's not the case. Or, maybe you've installed less than the defaults. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
