Do you get anything like that? (as for why i don't have permission to my sound thingo, yet hear sound ... no idea)
>> Module there, excellent
disable arts - well this ONLY applies if you are running KDE, if so:
click K > Settings > Control Center
Sound & Multimedia > Sound System > untick "Enable Sound System"
incidentally, mpg123 should have been provided by the default install of SuSE (well it certainly used to be in there)
also check in /dev/ that you have read and write access to dsp and mixer (and subsequently what they point at):
