Update

I have some sound now - I can play music from the hard drive, both wav and mp3.

If i have XMMS preferences set to OSS, it works. Set to alsa, it doesn't, and complains about not finding a device (can't recall exact wording: at work now)

Neither one can access audio on CD - even though I can see the tracks. Maybe an fstab issue on that? or something in /dev?



Why would OSS work and not ALSA?
