ok, i don't know enough about sound configuration to know how to
do this, but i did figure out that ogle comes with a system-wide
config file, /usr/share/ogle/oglerc, which is an XML file in four
sections, one of them being "audio":
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE ogle_conf SYSTEM "/usr/share/ogle/ogle_conf.dtd">
<!-- This is the configuration file for ogle. (man oglerc(5)) -->
<ogle_conf>
... <dvd></dvd> section skipped ...
<audio>
<device>
<driver>alsa</driver>
<path>/dev/dsp</path>
<alsa>
<name>default</name>
</alsa>
</device>
<speakers>
<front>2</front>
<rear>0</rear>

<resample>no</resample>

</sync>
</audio>
... remainder of file skipped ...
</ogle_conf>
so, any suggestions for what i would change for RH 8.0?
i have an inspiron with ESS/maestro3. guess it's time to start
reading even more docs.
