I don't know for sure, I'm pretty new to this, but I have both amp and
mpg123 running, and since amp requires no xterm, my first reaction is
the say "thanks, but no thanks" and run amp, being that it's lighter
weight.

I haven't run sound in 3 years now, everything I knew is in the toilet
since then.  Someone else sent me their entire audio section from
mailcap, I got that done now.
