Ole,
This looks really good. It would be great to add it to the Boris' ltspsound
package. He's using NAS, but if you check the rc.sound file there's a
variable, SOUND_DAEMON, which is supposed to use rplay or esd as well.
Perhaps you could put it all togheter, if you don't mind.
Just a wish.
Thanks,
Dario.
