Have you guys tried Soft OSS? It's almost completely compatible 
with OSS Free.  If you have a PCI sound card, so far you must use 
it.  Well, I haven't tried it in 2.2.0pre6 yet though.  
www.opensound.com It's $20 I believe, but setup takes all of 10 
seconds. the demo will work 3 hours at a time so you should 
check it out.  As for the mp3 problem, try mpg123 you can get it 
from metalab (sunsite) I could even play mp3's on my 486 with this 
nifty little program! If you need anythin else drop me a line, I'll get 
back to you sometime ;)
