I changed the permissions, added user to group audio, et al.
Now, when I use 'play <file.wav>' command, the file is played perfectly.
But 'mpg123 <file.mp3>' says no sample rate found, and gmix says no mixer
found. When i do 'cat <file.mp3> > /dev/dsp or /dev/audio', the speakers give
a "korrrrrrrrrr" sound and nothing more.
THe thing is, wav files play with 'play' command, while mp3 files couldn't
be played. Help.
Another query: When I startx, X comes up, then after a few seconds window
maker comes up, then after several seconds of no disk activity, gnome panel
pops up. Why is it that gnome is taking so much time?
