Yes, sound support on Linux is not great and probably won't be good until 64-bit. If you are just looking to play an MP3 based on some user action, you could just try using a command-line MP3 player and then using an OSProcess to launch it, stop it, etc. It's a bit ugly code but might need your needs.

Cheers,

Jeff
