Just as a starter, does it work at all? That is, do you have a
/dev/dsp? Do simple OSS programs work? (mpg123 is a nice minimal test;
mplayer is fine.)
There's always a chance of the problem being on the gnome side of
things, so it just seems sensible to start with the really simple
things. Apologies if you've done this already. :)
