While searching for alternatives for encfs (have a separate thread in
pkgsrc list) came across "cryfs" and found only a wikipedia page saying
that NetBSD actually supports it.

I have built firefox 52.0.1 using pkgsrc 2017Q1 on 8.0 BETA i386.
I am able to play videos, such as youtube, but no audio.
Audio is otherwise working fine with mpv.
When building firefox I had enabled alsa, and disabled oss and pulseaudio.
Is oss likely to work than alsa? I am not considering

The video is somehow not as smooth moving as it was say
Hi,
on mpv it might nto pick the best audio output method by default.
you can choose which to use with e.g. --vo=xv
If you have intel graphics, getting vaapi may be good (hardware
decoding).
I seem to recall the mplayer failure is something in ffmpeg that is
i386 specific. I will try to

mplayer hasn't worked on NetBSD for a long time for me. I went over
to mpv and haven't looked back. mpv works flawlessly on NetBSD.

Trying to get mplayer work on NetBSD 8.0 BETA i386.
Get the following error:
mplayer: text relocations
mplayer: Cannot write-enable text segment: Permission denied
Sounds like mplayer does something nasty that NetBSD doesn't like?
Is this workable around or are there alternative media
