sound driver
In short: I can't play ogg files on my Debian Sarge (2.4.27) machine,
but I can if I boot off a Knoppix live CD (v3.6, kernel 2.4.27).
i.e. the drivers I have installed on my Debian Sarge machine aren't
working. I'd like to set things up to use the sound drivers that
Knoppix uses, but I don't know how. Does anyone out there know how
I'd go about doing this? Here's the output of /sbin/lsmod on Debian

My sound card is built into my Via motherboard. via82cxxx_audio and
via82cxxx appear to be the driver modules. The size of
via82cxxx_audio differs and Knoppix doesn't use via82cxxx. But, I
can't rmmod via82cxxx on Debian:
jrennie@desk:~$ sudo rmmod via82cxxx
Password:
via82cxxx: Device or resource busy
In case it's useful, here's the output of ogg123 (looks the same for
both Debian and Knoppix):
Audio Device: OSS audio driver output
Playing: ogg/king_crimson/sleepless_the_concise_king_crimson/red.ogg
Ogg Vorbis stream: 2 channel, 44100 Hz
Title: Red
Artist: King Crimson
Genre: 17
Date: 1993
Album: Sleepless (The Concise King Crimson)
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason
P.S. Many thanks to Maurits van Rees and Wim De Smet for helping me
get this far!
