Can you play sounds over the net in Potato?

Various sites offer you the option to play sound over the net but all require you to have some software to enable this. I followed some links for this in Linux Debian but they were all for Woody, which I don't want to upgrade to yet. Is there anything available for Potato? Anthony -- Anthony C

Mutt/exim - multiple email addresses

What's the best way of rewriting addresses when you have multiple email accounts all pointed at the same local login? I've got exim setup to rewrite the 'From' on outgoing mail so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] becomes one of my real email addresses, which is fine as far as it goes. The problem is that

World-readable home-dirs

Hi, during the installation i was asked if i want world-readable home directories. Where can I change that behaviour? So when I add a new user (adduser), it's home-dir should get automagically world-readable instead of non-readable. Thanx (it's not in /etc/adduser.conf)
