	It is not a behaviour. Libsndfile has external dependencies to deal with ogg files and these are not present in the current binary release of csound. If you build and install libsndfile, replacing the bundled one in /usr/local/lib, you can have your own customly configured one.

Also, If I try to use channel 2 of a stereo OGG file, it says that the file just has one channel. I also can't hear anything from channel 1. I have this problems only on Mac; on Windows everything works fine. I have tried several opcodes to play sounds from function tables, they all answer like this: error: req chan 2, file /Users/michelenasti/Dropbox/netbeans/MusicaParlata2/mpp2project/GattoVolpe10.ogg has only 1 ftable 101: Failed to open file f101 0.00 0.00 1.00 "/Users/michelenasti/Dropbox/netbeans/MusicaParlata2/mpp2project/GattoVolpe10.ogg" ... INIT ERROR in instr 0: ftgen error giSoundFile ftgen 0 0 0 1 "/Users/michelenasti/Dropbox/netbeans/MusicaParlata2/mpp2project/GattoVolpe10.ogg" 0 0 2 Do you have any ideas on what's going on? The system I'm using is OS X 10.6 . I tried CSound 5.15 and 5.14 with the same result. Michele Nasti

Unfortunately, complaining about it isn't going to fix it and its only going to annoy the people who said they will look into fixing it when then can. In the meantime, Victor has suggested you compile libsndfile yourself (doing all libsndfile's dependencies first) and install it in /usr/local/lib. Erik

	Hi Erik, I was not complaining, you should read my sentence with a "what a surprise!" tone... because I never use Apple computers and I just thought it was just going to work. Honestly, I'm not a C expert, so it is very difficoult for me trying to compile it or test it. That's why if I get a sponsor for my program I'll help CSound to become greater.
