Not trying to be funny, but HOW?? I read the docs, and unless Im really
thick, none of them detail the config file systax.

Actually, I find the 'RTFM' headers on this list 1) offensive   and 2) a
waste of bandwidth.

I /did/ rtfm, and found it lacking. I tried the '-ao oss:/dev/sound/dsp'
option as documented, and it failed.

Please dont assume people havent RTFMed. its NOT easy to find the right
info always.
