If it is a permissive issue, then you would be better off not running as root. I wouldn't ever suggest running as root when you're generating errors. Unless of course you know it's not gonna trash anything. It's probably faster and easier to run it as root, but you could always just change the permissions of /dev/dsp using the following command (as root of course): chmod 666 /dev/dsp This was something I had to do on occasion with slackware when I wanted to run xmms and the device wouldn't let me send data to it. =-( On a far rarer occasion I had to do this in RedHat 8 and 9 as well as some earlier versions. At anyrate, give that a shot. Alex (HTH)
