Re: sound under Red Hat 6.0 (upgrade from 5.2)

Apparently the sound interface changed from 2.0.x to 2.2.x.

The RedHat 6.0 Errata states that certain applications no longer work.
One of these is RealPlayer (that's rvplayer, right?). I suspect x11amp
may be victim of the same problem.

I know this isn't a fix, but GQMpeg is an alternative to x11amp, and its
good. It uses mpg123, and I know the combination works on RH6.

Good luck,
Darren
