An odd development in the last couple of days - xmms won't play any mp3s
for any user. ie the play slider does not show a knob after I try to
start a play. It's ok for root, so the relevant files are there. Using
FC7
Starting from a command line there is no error message, nor is there
in /var/log/messages.
Any ideas about looking for the problem? (solution-wise I do have Etch
discs ready to go . .)
My guess is you will find that the problem is that you need to give your user
(non-root) account appropriate privileges to control the underlying hardware. I
came across a similar problem with Kino - for controlling a Camcorder via the
firewire port.
I doubt switching distros will help. I had the same problem on Breezy Badger and
Knoppix and gave up trying to solve it. But if you do find the solution, I would
be interested.
