hehe, that's not enough. You also need to load the alsa-modules for oss I think there're called als-oss and alsa-mxer I jsut shutdown the box that info is on. alsa doesn't make use of the dsp devices by default cause they have there own set. You could however also use mpg123 wiht the -a /dev/nsd/devicename option to sercomvent it. ----------- Andor Demarteau linux@disnet.demon.nl -----------
