 That's obviously not the problem. As i already said, other esound
 programs are working fine:
 
 freddy at pegasus:...cence/Fallen 1% mplayer 01-Going_Under.mp3=20
 [...]
 Starting playback...
 
 
 But:
 
 freddy at pegasus:...cence/Fallen 0% mpg123 01-Going_Under.mp3=20
 High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layer 1, 2 and 3.
 Version 0.59r (1999/Jun/15). Written and copyrights by Michael Hipp.
 Uses code from various people. See 'README' for more!
 THIS SOFTWARE COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! USE AT YOUR OWN
 RISK!
 /dev/dsp: Device busy
 audio: Device busy
 
 And esd is not being started as root.
 
 When playing a file with mpg123 as root, it works, but not if i do
 that as normal user. So it's IMHO proven to be a problem within
 mpg123's code.
 
 
 With kind regards,
