Hi,
I managed to play some sound on GNU/Hurd using patched Rump and a modified mplayer. For those interested: 1. Setup APT repository (https://people.debian.org/~rmh/rump/apt/00README) 2. If using kvm, add "-soundhw ac97". With real hardware ICH/AC97 and Intel HD audio are supported. 3. Install mplayer from the repository and run with: mplayer -ao sun soundfile.ogg Enjoy :-) -- Robert Millan
