Can't find a suitable libao driver. (Is device in use?)

[Nori Heikkinen <nori@sccs.swarthmore.edu>]

hi,

i just bought a new motherboard that appears to have sound jacks on
it.  i can't just plug in my speakers and go -- when i try to play
music, i get the error:

 libao - OSS cannot set rate to 44100
 Can't find a suitable libao driver. (Is device in use?)

the device is not in use.

this occurs with oggs and mp3s.

i have both libao0 and libao2 installed.

help?

thanks,

</nori>
