ogg123 can't open audio device

My sound card is supported via oss drivers. To use them, mpg321 requires the option "-o oss" to tell it that, then it works fine.

I can't get ogg123 to work at all. I get the error message

Quote:

libao - OSS cannot set rate to 44100
Error: Cannot open device oss.

Segmentation fault

I have tried passing it the option "-d oss" and I get exactly the same error.

Help please?

Hehe... of course, I get it working RIGHT AFTER I ask for help... if anyone else has this problem and finds it in a search or something, try using the option "-d esd".

Or try with no option at all? It should auto detect whether you're running a sound server or not
