With the current releases, you can have several output options to choose from at runtime. Though one of them is still the build-time configurable default and there is no auto-detection going on. To use oss when alsa is default, you have to specify `mpg123 -o oss` and vice versa. Unless you specify it, ./configure will choose alsa as default when alsa library is present; otherwise the first that works in this list:
alsa oss coreaudio sun win32 esd jack portaudio pulse sdl nas arts dummy On Linux, OSS build is likely to always work as one kernel header file is all that's needed. I guess that in future, mpg123 should support some way to set the default audio output at runtime, possibly by using an environment variable. Alrighty then, Thomas (mpg123 maintainer). -- Thomas Orgis - Source Mage GNU/Linux Developer (http://www.sourcemage.org) OrgisNetzOrganisation ---)=- http://orgis.org GPG public key D446D524: http://thomas.orgis.org/public_key Fingerprint: 7236 3885 A742 B736 E0C8 9721 9B4C 52BC D446 D524
