RE: Problems with xmms.
Well...interesting, i removed normal user from audio group, logged off,
logged back on...and problem fixed. Root now has sound again, and nasty
noise is gone. Of course normal user doesn't have any sound anymore lol.
It seems to be as a byproduct of adding myself to the audio group that this
nasty noise/no music develops. Anyone else on the lists encountered this
issue before? I am going to try adding myself to the audio group again and
see what happens this time, to determine if it's a regular occurence. I
mean it's no drama to su to root and spawn xmms as root whilst being logged
on as normal user. It just annoys me that normal user should have sound and
doesn't ;-) - that in turn makes me inquisitive.

Nop. Xmms' volume slider sets directly PCM (or General -- depending on
configuration) Volume level. Thus it proves nothing. :-(
