Thanks for telling me. I'm not used to play with sound on my machines :) Ok, still building mpg321, was missing qt stuff etc. But nevertheless, I tried to play a bit around and I feel I have some basic issues which do not work. You say cdcontrol does not need sound support at all, do I expect correctly that I should get some sound out of my box then? Well, I do not get anything out of it right now. I followed the handbook's advices and cat'ed a file to /dev/dsp, nothing. Sorry, may I have missed a basic issue then? Do I need to setup something additional? As said, newbie here, only wanted to test. TIA, Andreas
