I'm sure compile the kernel with sound card support. I can play Mp3 music in the command line with amp-0.7.6 and I can play CD with cd-console very well. But I don't know why the X11amp can't open the audio device in X window. I also find most mp3 player run in X window or Kde2.1.1 can't open the audio device. Why?
Thank you for your response.
