Thanks! Well, that downloaded the file and unpacked into a couple of
files. Looked like libraries, maybe. There was some kind of .conf
file for sound (esnd pehaps?) and something else which I didn't
recognize. However, the docs for pkg_add suggest that only the name of
the package should be necessary and not the version information, to get
the most up-to-date versions of what's available on the server. Yet
that doesn't happen on my system, nor does it seem to properly fetch
dependencies. Perhaps I am misunderstanding something or have
overlooked some obvious configuration issue.
