Re: XMMS runs fast and no sound for some users

[Net Llama]

This normally occurs when you've set the output device in XMMS to
generate a wav file rather than to play the MP3 to /dev/audio.  Check
the XMMS config.

Oh, for Pete's sake. I tried yet another regular user, and he worked fine.
So, I just deleted the .xmms directory with the problem user, and things
work now. I wish I had saved that directory so I could see what might
have been the problem. Ugh.
