See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Date: 23 Sep 1995 00:00:01 EST 'soundplayer' is a new tool which has not yet become part of IRIX proper. Bryan James <bryanj@spiff.esd.sgi.com> describes several ways to deal with its absence: - Get Webforce (an extra-cost product) or Digital Media Tools 5.5 (free from http://www.sgi.com/Products/Evaluation/dmedia/dmedia.html), both of which include soundplayer. Both require IRIX 5.3. - 'sfplay' is part of standard IRIX and handles almost all of the same audio formats as does 'sfplay'. Edit the file /usr/local/lib/netscape/mailcap and replace every instance of the word "soundplayer" with "sfplay". 'sfplay' does NOT handle mpeg audio bitstreams (.mp2) like those from the Internet Underground Music Archive site. Get 'maplay', an MPEG audio file player, from ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/incoming/maplay1_2/; you can get the C++ source code (maplay1_2.tar.Z) and compile it yourself or just get the IRIX binary (maplay_indigo.Z). (See also Doug Cook's audio apps list, referenced in the misc FAQ.) After you've set up 'maplay', edit /usr/local/lib/netscape/mailcap, find the line beginning with "audio/x-mpeg" and replace the word "soundplayer" with "maplay" on that line only.
