Oops, you are absolutely correct.  mpg321 and freeamp are free (GNU

mpg123 is non-free.  it's only free-as-in-free-beer, not
free-as-in-free-speech.  It uses the Fraunhofer codec.

`ln /dev/foo /mp3/dev/foo` (note no -s!) should take care of that.

ITYM `apt-cache search `.  apt-cache show requires you to

Do a apt-get install xmms after the install you need
to alow the user to use it, I do su, password then
adduser  audio.  Of cource I'm on a one
person system, so I'm not worried about the security.
