I've submitted a patch for review that adds the ppoll syscall in the linuxulator (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192842) and enables linux pulseaudio-utils to play wav files from the command line. However some futex locking issues doesn't allow Skype (or flashplugin in a browser) to work with is properly. So I'm investigating the next two possible things that need fixing to solve the pulseaudio thing properly. I've also added alsa-libs alsa-utils and alsa-plugins-oss ports, and they seem to work okay with flashplugin and nspluginwrapper through on firefox. So that's sorted :) Hopefuly the pulseaudio fix won't take that long. I'll send an update when I have something useable to share! Regards, Vassilis
