I have a Thinkpad 380E, but for the life of me (and for the 4 or 5
tutorials I've tried), I can't get it to play an 'ogg' audio file with
either ogg123 or mpg123.

When I run the command 'ogg123 name_of_song.ogg' I get...

Audio Device: OSS audio driver output

Playing: name_of_song.ogg
Ogg Vorbis stream: 2 channel, 44100Hz
Title: [not set]
Artist: Unknown
Genre: Unknown
Date: 0
Album: [not set]
Track number: 1
Error: Cannot open device oss.

... I can give the output of any other command that you guys want me to run.

I really don't know where to start in explaining the problem other
than that, since I'm running through the tutorials I've found
semi-blind. I've run the alsaconf utility a bajillion times, but I
don't really know what it does. I've enter a ton of commands that
start with 'modprobe', but again - I'm too new to this to have a clue
yet.

What can I do to get sound 'working' ? (I say 'working' since it beeps
at me when I boot, so there's obviously sound - just not the kind I'm
wanting.)

I can post the spec sheet on the 380E if it would help.

Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help me get this working...
