I don't think it's telling me too much, or I'm not sure how to read the results. It does tell me sample rate, which is a step forward: bash-2.05b$ file gmc2.ogg gmc2.ogg: Ogg data, Vorbis audio, stereo, 44100 Hz, ~128031 bps, created by: Xiphophorus libVorbis I 20011231 (RC3) bash-2.05b$ file examplesustain.ogg examplesustain.ogg: Ogg data, Vorbis audio, stereo, 44100 Hz, >256000 ~224000 bps, created by: Xiph.Org libVorbis I 20020717 (1.0) bash-2.05b$ I have an ongoing problem with the OSS part of Alsa. I noticed this evening that the file examplesustain.ogg doesn't have the problem, while pretty much every other ogg or wave file I play does. I was thinking that one of these might be 16-bit, or 24-bit, etc., or something like that, but I don't see that here. I looked at the man page, but nothing jumped out at me. Thanks very much though. - Mark
