Hm, I was just playing around with sound in a windows VMware guest in Workstation 6 the other day and it worked fine. I have the following snd modules loaded: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod | grep snd snd_pcm_oss 48288 0 snd_mixer_oss 21376 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_emu10k1 142048 1 snd_rawmidi 30624 1 snd_emu10k1 firmware_class 15360 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_ac97_codec 117464 1 snd_emu10k1 ac97_bus 7168 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 89992 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_ac97_codec snd_seq_device 12820 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi snd_timer 28424 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 14608 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_util_mem 9600 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 14728 1 snd_emu10k1 snd 65896 11 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_seq_device,snd_timer,snd_hwdep soundcore 13088 1 snd (particularly, snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss seem to be what provide the /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer OSS interface.) I'll give it a try in Player 2. -- Robert Edmonds [EMAIL PROTECTED]
