For your information, in case this helps...

I am using ALSA and it appears to work except that only one program can
access the sound hardware at a time (so is just like OSS :-)).  If I am
playing music in XMMS and then try to aplay a .wav file, it will hang
until XMMS is closed for example.

The trick of altering the HZ of mp3 plug-in to remove the choppiness
doesn't seem to work for all mp3 files (thought does for the vast
majority).

Many thanks for looking into this (and all the other work you do --
sleep support, for example, has been *incredibly* useful)!

best regards,
