mp3 play problem

[Anant Aneja]

I've got a problem with running mp3 files on my red hat 7.1 system.
When I use the XMMS player (in Gnome) I get a problem with sound config message and when i try thr command line mpg123 I get a message telling me that a temporary sound socket could not be created under the /tmp directory.

However mp3's are playable (under XMMS) when I use the root account.

MP3's are playble if I double click their icons under the file manager though, even in a user account.

Clearly the problem isint with the sound config which is fine.There must be some permissions problem.Please help.

Kernel :default installed under rh 7.1
Shell :/bin/bash
processor : Pentium 2 350 Mhz
RAM :32 Mb
