ogg123 - error opening device oss


Hi,

I get "Error: Cannot open device oss" when trying to play an ogg with ogg123.

No problem with mp3.

Where/What is the oss device?

It was working before. I guess a reboot may fixed it but I will loose my current work setup (doing intensive programming right now with many many terminals and emacs opened...).

Code:
ibou:~> ogg123 -V
ogg123 from vorbis-tools 1.0rc3

ibou:~> 
bou:~> /sbin/lsmod 
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted

ibou:~>
I'm running Debian woody on a iBook.

TIA,
