If you open a console window, and type "xmms" and run it, what does it
complain about? In my experience, most things end up ciomplaining about
/dev/dsp or the sound device and how I cannot have access to it, which I fix
by formatting my hard drive, well actually.. that' snot a fix, but anyway.
What is the error? Does XMMS even load up? Or not even load? Do you have
read access to the sound files you are trying to play?

Subject: [Cooker] XMMS w/ Cooker
Running XMMS in cooker worked fine right after I installed it. Now (1
day later), it only works if I run it as root. I presume that the
security scripts changed the permissions of something but since I didn't
have postfix running, I have no idea what the might have changed. I'd
really like to be able to do sound without needing to be root and would
appreciate knowing what might have changed.
Ironically, I can still use `play soundfile.au` as a normal user and
this still works. XMMS just doesn't work.
I installed as "high" security.
Thanks in advance for your help!
