Xmms needs a few extra plugins, which are available in the feeds. First, for alsa output: xmms-plugin-output-alsa and for mp3 playback: xmms-mad and for ogg playback: xmms-tremor (although I haven't tried ogg playback personally). Zaurus used to have a tendency to have everything muted on install, but I am not sure if that is still true for the more recent versions.. Either way if the sound was muted, xmms would at least look like it was playing the file (the seek bar would move etc.). My guess is you are missing the plugins. Good luck :) Marlon _________________________________________________________________ Like solving puzzles? Then you'll love Flexicon!
