I tried installing the alsa stuff that I think is needed and was somewhat successful :-)
Now I can choose the ALSA drivers in xmms and kde too, but an error message comes up: error opening alsa device: No such device (same error with kde) The system basically still uses oss. Where can I set something like that?
