After playing some last night I finally got xmms to play mp3's off the net as root. But, if I try as a normal user it crashes netsacpe all together and gives me the report to send back to them. I checked the permissions on

/dev/audio
/dev/audio1
/dev/dsp
/dev/dsp1
/dev/mixer
/dev/mixer1

I can play them if I download them just not straight off the site. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Should I try removing my .netscape as the user and restart it? Should I copy root's .netscape over top? thanks

Don't worry about Netscape, it's not your problem. Use these commands to set the proper permissions:

chmod 666 /dev/audio

chmod 666 /dev/dsp

chmod 666 /dev/mixer

That should do it. HTH
