Both raplayer (3.0 Freebsd-static) and (rvplayer 5.0 Linux) work for
me with the eap driver.

Both programs do have the annoying habit of busy-polling some system
call and chewing up 100% of the cpu time.  Don't expect to get much
else done while running either.

This is the core of what I use to run it: 

    RVHOME=/usr/local/rvplayer5.0
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$RVHOME
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    #
    # this pig uses 100% of the cpu!  At least nice it to all hell.
    #
    nice -20 $RVHOME/rvplayer "$@"

I also have a symlink between /dev/dsp and /dev/audio.  I do notice
that a "strings *.so rvplayer" does pop up two hits on /dev/dsp.
Maybe its only opening the dsp device on network connections???
