I can't imagine this behavior is PPC specific. While X is running the ownership changes to the user running X. After I closed X, I was still the owner. > o as root, /usr/bin/play reports: > > sox: Unable to set the sample size to 16 > I was able to use play on the ripped file, but it wasn't pretty - sounded fine with xmms - endian issue with play? > > - After ogg-encoding cdda.wav, > > o as user, /usr/bin/ogg123 cdda.ogg reports: > worked here as "stew" - sounded correct too > === Could not load default driver and no driver specified in config file. >Exiting. > > o as user, /usr/bin/ogg123 -d oss cdda.ogg reports: > > > Device: OSS audio driver output > [deletia] Author: Aaron Holtzman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Playing: cdda.ogg > Error: Cannot open device oss. > > Segmentation fault > > o as root, /usr/bin/ogg123 cdda.ogg just WORKS! > Are you running devfs? I am here, which may account for some of the differences we're seeing. I also just logged out, logged in as root and ran aumix, which changed the ownership back to root. Logged out root, logged in as stew and ownership was mine. Aumix and ogg123 ran fine. I'lk check out "play". I vaguely recall endian issues with 8.0 too.
