Architecture: sparc
Machine: sparc
>Description:
After some problems with mpg123 (bad error handling, no progress and tons of
bugs in the unreleased developement version) I started to look for a 
replacement. Triggered by some recent copyright discussion on tech-pkg I 
looked at audio/vorbistools and found they fit my needs pretty good - the
decoder uses floating point so should be fast enough on my Krups.

Unfortunately it does not work at all on sparc (current as of yesterday):

It hangs after printing a banner and won't stop on Ctrl-C:

UID   PID  PPID CPU PRI  NI  VSZ   RSS WCHAN    STAT TT     TIME COMMAND
205  9640 16851  24  52   0  604  2120 -        Ra+  uk0 3:52.71 ogg123 -b 1024 Rage - Paint It Black.ogg 

after killing it, it says:

ogg123: libpthread: sa_register failed.

No sound is output (I've directed libdao to output in sun/NetBSD format to
/dev/audio).

This works well on other archs (ok, there are some random floating point
exceptions on sparc64), so this must be a problem in the MD kernel or 
libpthread parts.
