Continuing with my Lightweight Debian configuration, today I wanted to add sound and music to it, I have 4 Gigs of MP3, and I needed to hear them.
Maybe the best option is mpg123 which is command line mp3 player, but today I wanted to try audacious, which looks a lot like XMMS although it is not a fork of it, you can see some good screenshots of it.
To install the sound in my Debian first I needed to install alsa-utils
sudo aptitude install alsa-utils
And then install audacious
sudo aptitude install audacious
after that everything was running perfect and I was listening to my favorite music.
Do not forget to check also some of its features

I'd like to know, I used your original lightweight tutorial to put debian on my laptop, a Dell C600, and I'm looking for a way to get sound working, not for music, but so that pidgin will make noise during chats. Would this work, or does pidgin use something else for sound?
