I got /dev/dsp: device or resource busy at first. I then reboot and now
everything is working fine.

I think it may have to do with I recently installed gnome/gdm (even
though I run KDE) so I could run XGL, and XGL had recently crashed, and
then I fired up KDE w/o XGL. I tried to fuser -k all of the things that
had /dev/dsp open, but then Xorg crashed and required a reboot...

it is working now! thx for the reply, and thanks for posting about
mpg123, I have always wanted a CLI mp3 player =)
