What do I need to modprobe to get this working?  I tried modprobe es688,
modprobe es1688, and modprobe ymf262, but those all failed with FATAL:

Try modprobe snd-es1688 and read the following page:

modprobe snd-es1688 added a buttload of sound stuff:

However, that site is useless to me, since I use oss insetead of alsa
(which I have never been able to get to work).

XMMS still gives me an error when I try to play a file:

"Couldn't open audio.

Please check that:

Your soundcard is configured properly.
You have the correct output plugin selected.
No other program is blocking the soundcard.

The ourput plugin is OSS Driver 1.2.10, set to use the default device
(whatever that is).  And as far as I can tell, there's nothing else
trying to make use of the sound device.

When I try to run the file with ogg123 -d oss <filename.ogg>, ogg123
happily runs through the sound file, but all I get is silence (and yes,
I do have the volume on the computer turned up.)



Try different output plugins in XMMS under Options/Preferences/Audio IO Plugins/Output Plugin, e.g. "eSound Output Plugin".
