This reply is a little belated, and you have not replied to Marshall Heartley's answer.... Oops, I missed the reply, sorry Marshall. I've tried oggenc with as many different options I could think of, including none at all. Have you tried compliing from source? Is that what you mean when you say you tried the "tar.gz" files?
Yep, I tried with v1.0, and I also tried with rc2 - this is the version on the SuSE 7.3 cds which I know I had it working with. Still no luck
I was originally thinking that it was a architecture issue, but you state you have a Duron (i.e., i686) CPU, so it can't be that.
I thought that that might be possibility, so I tried building with --BUILD =i386 but still have the same problem. Some times oggenc does produce a partial ogg file before the machine freezes, and this plays ok, if a little short ;-) The freezes always happen, but not at the same place, ie I can do oggenc song.wav and it can get to 20% before the freeze, and then after a reboot the same command on the same file will reach a different %.
Try compiling from source, or trying someone else's RPMs. If that doesn't fix it, post back (I have something in the back of my mind).
I'm posting back - I want to know what is at the back of your mind ;-) Many thanks, Nik
