[linux-audio-user] Really basic /dev/dsp question

[Gustavo Zamorano S.]

Be sure that /dev/dsp is owned by the user you logged in as.
Check if artsd is running as your sound server.
If it is running then you have to run those programs that try to open 
/dev/dsp with artsdsp, like:
artsdsp play /usr/share/sounds/startup.
To play mp3 files with xmms you probably need to get the mp3 plugin for 
xmms.
Or, maybe artsd is not running.  Go to preferences -> Sound -> Sound 
server and enable it.

You can also use other sound servers as well.
