 hi,

trying to diagnise my sound problems:

I dhave alsa 0.9 (rc2) installed now and am getting no more complaints
from the system. mp3 players work only intermittently, however. Here's
the scoop:

alsaplayer now launches well in kde, though opening "scopes" windows
causes it to crash (this was not always the case, though I can't
remember at what point it was that I was able to make the work). In
gnome, though, it won't launch.

Freeamp works fine when I call it as root, though it won't open streams
for me (I guess it needs netscape, which for good reasons won't run as
root). When I run it as an ordinary user, I can't make any
modifications in the gui; back in the ocnsole I get the error message,

Error opening cdrom: Permission denied

anyone know what the origin of this message is?

thanks again,
matt
