Hi,

 Recently I installed OSS4 and xmms2-plugin-oss, and config xmms2 output
 plugin to oss both through "xmms2 config output.config oss" and the
 config file ".config/xmms2/xmms2.conf", but when I toggle the play, the
 log file shows:
     INFO: ../src/xmms/main.c:564: Using output plugin: oss

    ERROR: ../src/xmms/outputplugin.c:439: Could not open output

    INFO: ../src/plugins/mad/id3v1.c:109: Converting ID3v1 tag 'date'
    failed (check id3v1_encoding property): Conversion from character
    set 'GBK,big5,utf8' to 'UTF-8' is not supported
    INFO: ../src/xmms/xform.c:1476: Successfully setup chain for
    'file:///home/zzx/music/foyue/01.%e6%a2%b5%e5%94%b1%e5%a4%a7%e6%82%b2%e5%92%92.mp3'
    (1293) containing file:magic:id3v2:magic:mad:segment
    FAIL: xmms_oss_flush: assertion `output' failed
    ...
 and of course I can hear nothing.
 But if I switch to the alsa plugin, and set up the alsa simulation in
 oss, I can hear the music.

I don't know where this problem comes from, and googling gives no clue.
If anything further should be informed, please let me know.

Thank you!

The OSS output plugin was written for older versions of OSS. Patches
accepted, even if it's just a version check that disables the OSS
plugin with a log INFO message if the implementation of OSS is too
new. I would personally recommend you to use Pulseaudio instead
though.
