Hmmm.  That's odd. Here's the info as of a few minutes ago, when I
haven't been fooling with it for a few hours.

ls -l /dev/dsp*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root       4 Jan 22 13:45 /dev/dsp -> dsp0
crw-------  1 root audio 14,  3 Oct  2 04:38 /dev/dsp0
crw-------  1 root audio 14, 19 Oct  2 04:38 /dev/dsp1
crw-------  1 root audio 14, 35 Oct  2 04:38 /dev/dsp2
crw-------  1 root audio 14, 51 Oct  2 04:38 /dev/dsp3
crw-rw----  1 root root  55,  0 Oct  2 04:38 /dev/dsp56k

What I'm finding interesting was that when I checked it yesterday
(when I was actively trying things), everything was rwxrwxrwx (owners
etc. were the same).  I wonder how and when it changed?  and WHY?

Oh well - as it turns out, it doesn't matter - I set them all back to
rwxrwxrwx and nothing changed.

I'm really regretting having purchased vmware at this point - the
whole idea was to be able to load my mp3 player without having to go
to windows.  It used to work, IIRC, under SuSE 9.1
