Very Computer

Hi, folks
2 weeks ago, I installed S.u.S.e Linux 5.2. The system is running
nicely so far but I still got some problems with my sound
configuration.

I have a VIBRA16X Pnp sound card working just fine under WIN95.

Of course, I use the isapnp tool in order to intialize the card.
The params are set as follows:

SB16 IRQ        5
SB16 Base          220
8 Bit DMA       1
16 Bit DMA      5    
OPL-3 Base        388
MPU Base          330

I recently read the newer Vibras don't have any 16 Bit DMA. Is that
true? How do set it then ?

The kernel sound support is configured as a module with all params set
according to the above listed values.

After booting the system ,  inititializing the card and sound module
insertion, I SUCCESSFULLY check the configuration by sending some *.au
and *.wav files to /dev/audio and /dev/dsp respectively. Even
/dev/sndstat looks as I expect it to (not parentheses surrounding ANY
config)

So far, so good!

Now the problem:

I just can't get rplayd get to work

Oops, I accidentally posted my message before it was finished.

Here comes the rest:

Rplayd doesn't seem to work as I get the following output

juanita:/root # rplayd -d -n -b 8192 -c 60 -s 8192
[1] 257
rplayd: bind: Address already in use
rplayd: exit(1)
[1]+  Exit 1                  rplayd -d -n -b 8192 -c 60 -s 8192

 I  don't really understand what the program actually is trying to
tell me. Memory Base Address ... IP-Address ????.
As I'm a complete newbie I can't say if the problem at  hand is due to
hardware conflicts or resulting from erroneous network configuration.

Basically, I work on a standalone system with temporary PPP links to
my university provider (works O.K.). Thus, being most of the time
offline, I feel free to name my machine "juanita". The domainname
required for PPP is "dialup.rwth-aachen.de".

Maybe the following configuration files for hosts and rplay give a
clue to the problem

/etc/hosts:
 127.0.0.1      juanita
 127.0.0.1      localhost

/usr/etc/rplay.hosts:
#
# All hosts have read access:
#
*:r

#
# Trusted hosts:
#
localhost:rwx
juanita:rwx

/usr/etc/rplay.servers:
localhost
juanita

-----

As I don't know the internal meaning of localhost I just left it
untouched.

Pheew!!

Sorry for the rather long description. But after wasting three days
reading tons of docs and HOWTOs I thought that someone might have the
10-minute-trick-that-will-resolve-all-my-problems at hand.

Many thanks in advance
