Which solves the problem. Thanks. But I have no idea how you could dicover it. I used strace to find that xmms is trying to open /dev/snd/controlC0, which probably causes the problem, but I didn't know what to do next. > > > > Does it mean, that the bug is in the alsa drivers? > > Yes.

And in the source file for snd-powermac there is that it is based on dmasound_pmac. So why do they introduce new bugs I don't know. Maybe it is not as easy as I think to write a driver. So you think that ASLA on PPC is still not mature enough? And I still don't understand how it was possible, that wav files were ok and mp3/ogg weren't. I thought that mp3/ogg is decoded in the player and to ALSA it is send as wav (or PCM)....? Anyway, thank you for your help and time. It functions now. O.
