It doesn't complain. :(( Also, no messages in /var/log/messages. Just all of
the songs in my playlist go by really fast, and nothing plays.

XMMS loads and looks really pretty. But it only plays if I'm root when I run
it. It won't even play if I set the binary suid root (really wierd). Other
sound applications work fine when run as me. (ie: the `play` script works,
The SLab multitrack recorder even works when run as me, but not full duplex
since I'm still running OSS/Free. But XMMS only works as root. :(
Thanks for the help!
