ogg123 segmentation fault

["David H. Clymer" <david@nittanylink.com>]

for some reason, ogg123 is acting up. when I try to play an .ogg file, i
get the message the following:

<error message>

woody:/home/david/share/audio/speeches# ogg123 rms-mit*.ogg

Device:   OSS audio driver output 
Author:   Aaron Holtzman <aholtzma@ess.engr.uvic.ca>
Comments: Outputs audio to the Open Sound System driver.

Playing: rms-mit2001.ogg
Error: Cannot open device oss.

Segmentation fault

</error message>

this happens no regardless of which account it is run under. mpg321
works just fine. 

any ideas?
