Dear Vorbis,

I didn't even know about ogg or vorbis until I was at a conference
and someone said, ``if you want to avoid patents, keep away from MP3
and use vorbis instead''. So now I have downloaded the tar files
and compiled them up on my linux box and congratulations -- it sounds
very nice.

I tried the same source code on my Multia (alpha EV4 cpu) and it oggenc
works with no problems but ogg123 segfaults (even using the null output
driver it still segfaults). It looks like there is some 64 bit problem
or perhaps something alpha specific, I haven't tried tracing it down
since everything compiles in optimised mode it is sort of difficult to
look at the source code in all those shared object libraries.
I did get the backtrace out of gdb if that is any help:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/ogg123 --device=oss xxx
Opening devices...
Device:   OSS audio driver output 
Author:   Aaron Holtzman <aholtzma at ess.engr.uvic.ca>
Comments: Outputs audio to the Open Sound System driver.

Playing from file xxx.

These are the archives I used:

libao-0.5.0.tar.gz
libogg-1.0beta3.tar.gz
libvorbis-1.0beta3.tar.gz
vorbis-tools-1.0beta3.tar.gz

SPECIAL OFFER: If you want access to a Multia that is on the internet,
then I can do that (not root access obviously, just user access).
It is in Australia so the link might be a little slow, and you can't
hear what it is playing (though the oss output is functional, for
some reason the oss sound recording is broken on that machine).
At least you will be able to see your code segfault and figure out
what has gone wrong.

Tell me what username and password you want...

I wanna play oggs on my Multia.
