I now use pulseaudio, and I have no such error if > ogg123 uses alsa directly. This is because there is an ALSA plugin for pulseaudio in Debian. The one for RoarAudio is currently not in Debian. This is mostly because ALSA stuff is very, very hard to test. Also this depends on config provided by other packges (like the alsa package). You may consider writing bugreports aginst them, too. I would be very happy if stuff would get smoother in this area, but this is a lot of work and I don't have the resource to handle all of them. I already talked to many software developers about this, including but not limited to open bug reports to solve those problems on Debian's BTS.

Of cause. But I can't fix a fixed bug. I'm sorry if this bug still causes trouble. -- Philipp. (Rah of PH2)
