Great, thanks for the patches! I know a few people have tried ecasound on
FreeBSD before, but they haven't had the energy to solve all issues. But
it seems that you've done just this. Last week I also received a report
that ecasound was succesfully running on Solarix 2.6. So although slowly,
ecasound is getting more portable all the time.

What version of ecawave?

Have you run /sbin/ldconfig to create the symbolic links (so that
link /usr/local/lib/libecasound.so exists).

Hmm, theses shouldn't be too critical. Ecasound uses tmpnam() only in a
few places.

It might also be a security issue (tmpnam() potentially dangerous, so
compiler wants to warn about it).
