Re: [Nautilus-list] Nautilus with ogg

[Remi Cohen-Scali <Remi Cohen-Scali COM>]

To enable ogg123 to use esd (of course if it has been compiled with esd 
support activated, but this is the default), you need to tell ogg123 
what driver it has to use to play. Just set a line like:
default_driver=esd
in a .ogg123rc file in your home or in /etc/ogg123rc to set a system 
wide default.
