Which version? Does anything change if you do "mplayer -ao alsa file.wav"? The above "resource busy" error indicates that something is using the legacy OSS interface. IIRC, older versions of alsa could not share this interface, and in fact would prevent other applications from using the sound card at all if something was using this interface. Maybe try an "lsof /dev/dsp" to see what is using the old OSS interface... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
