xfsound uses xfplay to render sounds. xfplay is a script, here are the
contents:
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script is part of XFce
# "ossdsp" option submitted by "Sami Tikka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
exec sox "$1" -t ossdsp /dev/dsp
one thing i noted w/ xfce on my machine was that sound refused to work
at all (only under xfce) until i built and installed my own 2.4 kernel.
weird.
