hello,

I'm trying to use xmms to play ogg files and streaming radio.
I have Debian Sid
I installed xmms by : apt-get install xmms

I've been said that ogg support was already included in the last
versions of xmms.

But when I open the preferences window to select the input plugin, I
only have the choice between these :

libtonegen.so
libcaudio.so
libmpeg123.so
libwav.so

but no Ogg/Vorbis plugin !

The strange thing, is that it installed these files on my system :

/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libwav.so
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmpg123.so
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmikmod.so
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdaudio.so
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libtonegen.so
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libvorbis.so

How can I use the libvorbis.so ?
Why does'nt it appear in the preferences input list ?

Thanks for your suggestions

Do you have the actual vorbis libraries installed? Installing vorbis-tools
will install the vorbis libraries and allow you to test vorbis files at the
command line with ogg123.

I use Debian sid myself and I can confirm that xmms does play them. It's not
installed on this machine though so I can't check in more detail at the
moment.
