Please forgive me if my comments are not germane. When you are logged in, as root, do you have a file, ~/.xmms/config, and if so, is there a line in this file, output_plugin=.... When you are logged in, as a normal user, do you have a file, ~/.xmms/config, and if so, is there a line in this file, output_plugin=.... For me, when I am logged in, as a normal user, I do have a file, ~/.xmms/config, and the line in my file is output_plugin=/usr/lib64/xmms/Output/libxmms-pulse.so I have not run xmms, as root. I do not have a directory, /root/.xmms I thought, somewhere, I read, your xmms was looking for /dev/dsp. I thought /dev/dsp was for the audio system, Open Sound System (OSS). I thought, but could be wrong, OSS, was replaced, in the default Fedora installation, by Pulse Audio (with ALSA actually used to drive the sound hardware). I do not have the device file, /dev/dsp. xmms does play mp3 files, for me, as a normal user. In my setup, xmms must use Pulse Audio. I don't have OSS installed. I apologize if my comments are not germane. I missed the start of this thread. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0d9KQACgkQyc8Kn0p/AZTHXgCfTUj0MJTDhsfwr8qi5AqlQvVk dOYAoIuwuLynII/pRpEzyY1V7xXvCzh4 =JrHI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
