Hi Klugier.

On my system, I don't have ogg123 (at this time). I have gst123 (a gstreamer version with a bit more flexibility).

There's so many variations in linux. And xdg-open won't play anything if there's no mime-link set for it.

Your solution works, but it's probably even less generic than 'play'.

"play" is in the sox package and handles all kinds of different sound formats, not just ogg/vorbis stuff. It's a commandline utility but it is very handy to convert between audio formats.

But if you've got what you need now, you probably don't need to get sox. It's a bit overkill, though it is quite useful at times.

Hello,

I think there is a problem with this code. "play" command is not install by default on my distribution (Kubuntu), so the sound cannot be played. Alternatively, I can use command "ogg123" to play .ogg audio file.

So, I am almost sure that above solution is not distribution independent and should be improved for example if "play" is not detected use "ogg123" instead.

Sincerely,
Klugier
