You probably were running as root when it worked, and are now running as a user.
Check the permissions of /dev/audio. The simplest solution is to give "other"
rw access ("chmod +rw /dev/audio"). This isn't done out of the box due to
security concerns -- I'm not sure what the concern is offhand. I figure it
isn't a terribly big concern for a desktop/laptop type machine.

I recompiled my kernel using the crystal sound options, and it worked
wonderfully. for one day. I was playing mp3 files with x11amp and they
sounded great. But when I went to use it the next day, it wouldn't work at
all. x11amp said that it couldn't open the sound device. I can't even cat
..au files to the /dev/audio. So I don't know what I was doing right the day
before. But I just installed the source code for the 2.1.?? kernel (the latest
one, I can't remember the last two numbers). I've read that some things have
been changed in how sound is supported, so maybe this it will work this time.
Wish me luck.
