RedHat?? if so., what version? > 3.how should one if audio is working in Linux?can we Hmm., if you are using RH 9.0, login as root and open a console window in the Graphics terminal. Then type the following command. $redhat-config-soundcard This should make your audio configuration easier. However I assumed that you have that program installed. :-S > play .mp3 files using xmacs? Aw. did you say emacs or xemacs.. whatever, it is a emacs. Ananth., did you see this.. Another Emacs user.. hehehe.. I think i should start a Emacs User Group in TCE. ;). Well, yeah obviously you can. You need to get a package "mpg123.el". This is a Emacs Lisp package which acts as a interface to mpg123 or mpg321. Its pretty cool actually. I use it all the time.. :) :) :) Cheers, Joe -- Homepage : http://www.joesteeve.tk/ Weblog : http://gnukid.blogspot.com/
