Charles, I've played with your suggestions a bit, and I have a few more, if you can help... On Thu, 3 Jan 2002, Charles R . Anderson wrote:

The alsa stuff comes with an initscript called alsasound in the utils/ subdirectory of the source. It gets installed automatically with a "make install" into /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound. You can enable alsasound to start automatically with these commands:
/sbin/chkconfig --add /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound (only need to do this right after installing the first time)
/sbin/chkconfig alsasound on
or start/stop it at any time with these commands:
/sbin/service alsasound start /sbin/service alsasound stop

I played briefly with the alsasound service startup without success. So I went back to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local method. I'm not crazy about it, but it works. Maybe there is some other config that was necessary to use the alsasound start script, but I have limited play time.

Not sure, but you can hear the WPI radio station WWPI at http://radio.wpi.edu/
All you need is XMMS. There is a .pls file that gets downloaded. The .pls file contains a URL which can be loaded into XMMS via "Play Location". You can also set up your web browser to handle this automatically with a command line of "/usr/bin/xmms".
I did install xmms, and had some "visual" success. At first, I could even see the audio sound levels on the xmms main screen, but then I somehow messed it up. In addition, I haven't had any success getting sound. Note that I haven't played with MP3 files at all, so I may be missing some critical setup. I took a very quick look at esound, but there again, limited play time. Any suggestions to put me on the right path?
