No one responded (see quoted message below) last September so I went back to 5.4. Recently I purchased an SB3 which I believe requires 6.x, so solving this issue became more important for me. I just managed to do so and am posting a followup in the unlikely event that someone else runs into the same problem.
As noted below, sox didn't seem to know anything about Ogg Vorbis files, despite the fact that I had libogg and libvorbis installed prior to installing it. The issue is that the sox port in FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE has a typo in its makefile. It was looking for "libvorbis.so.2" on line 34. libvorbis on my system is libvorbis.so.3. Further down in the Makefile (line 45), it correctly references "vorbis.3". Fixing line 34 so that it was looking for "libvorbis.so.3" and then uninstalling, remaking, and reinstalling fixed the problem. sox can now deal with Ogg Vorbis files and everything plays perfectly on my SB1 using SlimServer 6.2.2. Next step: moving the SB1 downstairs and installing the shiny new SB3. :) eq72521 Wrote: > I hope that this is the right forum. > > I've been running SlimServer 5.4 on FreeBSD 5.3 for 7+ months with few > problems.
