I'm happy to say that I'm writing this from Netscape for Linux. It worked when I switched to the libc6 version. Thanks J. Paul Reed, you're my hero! I still have problems though, so i'm going to throw them out. This time it's with mp3's. I installed mpg123 and tk3play (statically linked version) but no luck. mpg123 from the command line give me lots of static while tk3play seems to fly through all the songs in the playlist very quickly (less than a second for just a few songs). My audio device does work since I can play wav files by cat file.wav > /dev/dsp. The tk3play README/Troubleshooting files say that I need a 16 bin sound card. I have a Sound Blaster compatible (listed at Sound Blaster Pro (3.1) in /dev/sndstat) and it works great from windows, but is there any way to tell if the kernel is detecting it as 16 bits? Troubleshooting also suggest trying to play a 16 bit wav file, but how do I get info about a sound file from linux?
