Hi all I'm using SuSE 9.2 on a PII. I can't get xmms to work for me. In fact the ONLY media player that works is kaffeine. I am trying to play cd's and mp3's. Kaffeine works just fine. On older versions of SuSE I never had too much trouble with xmms. When I run xmms, it starts, loads the cd TOC, I select the track but when I try to play it I get a dialog that says: Please Check that: Your soundcard is configured properly You have the correct output plugin selected No other program is blocking the sound card Of course the card does work since I can hear music with Kaffeine. In the terminal I use to start xmms I do see the following: GLib-CRITICAL **: file gutils.c: line 237 (g_basename): assertion `file_name != NULL' failed. Not being a programmer, I have no idea what this means. Then when I push play on xmms I see another message on the terminal: ** WARNING **: alsa_get_mixer(): Attaching to mixer hw:0 failed: No such device ** WARNING **: alsa_setup(): Failed to open pcm device (default): No such device Now according to yast, I have alsa installed so I can't understand why xmms can't find the devices it mentions. I tried to google the error messages but I couldn't find anything relevent. Any thoughts???
