I finally got around to doing as you said.  It took about 20
minutes to download and install everything, and when it was
all done, there's still no audio playing, altho the spectrum
display shows that the file is playing _somewhere_.  (That was
also true before doing the YAST bit.) Some other
responder (I don't know exactly where their response is right
this minute) suggested using a whole lot of ALSA stuff, but
altho I believe ALSA is installed, I cannot seem to find a way
to dump Amarok and switch to ALSA.  Besides, Amarok works on
one or more live distros that I've tried, so why doesn't it work
on SuSE?

(I just read a report from somebody on the list that says that
11.3, about to be released for d/l and sale, also has sound problems.
What on earth is going on here?)

I have been playing the Linux game for quite a few years, but I still
consider myself a novice. I have been with SuSE since the revs came with
2 fat books. I haven't been particularly interested in sound and video
until recently, but now that I am, I'm beginning to
wonder if I shouldn't switch to a distro that lets it work without
all this finagling.  I would have to say that unless I can get this
working pretty soon, that will be my only option.

Thanx for trying, Rajko.  Do you have any other suggestions?
