Playing daisy in Linux?

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

The NFB Newsline files you have are ANSI/NISO Z39.86-2002, text-only.  Newsline also offers Daisy audio versions of its publications, compatible with the NLS DTB player.  Since several publications are in one directory, the player you are attempting to use would need to have a bookshelf function in order to select among the OPF files that are present.

Well Jos-and-Will, I created a dir called daisy where I put these files.  There are no mp3s.  But if I type daisy-player /home/chime/daisy my cursor gets shove to maybe line3  and I get lots of lib386 messages  and I must clear my screen with a reset.
Here are the files in this directory

Back again live:  Must I launch 1 of these specificly.   This is daisy-player 
7.0.4
OK, just tried running as root, no improvement, still hear messages about memory map  heep and gnu.
It would obviously be quite messy if I were to paste in that output.
Thanks so much in advance
