Given how slow XMMS::Remote responds on my laptop (not sure why), I've been thinking of ditching it in favor of SDL::Music;

So I have it a whirl like so...

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use SDL;
use SDL::Mixer;
use SDL::Music;
my $mixer = new SDL::Mixer(-frequency=>44100, 
               -channels=>2, 
               -size=>1024);
  
my $mp3 = new SDL::Music('./test.mp3');  

$mixer->play_channel(0, $mp3, 0);
[download]

Which dies with "open /dev/sequencer: No such device".

Why is it looking at /dev/sequencer and how do I change it?

I'm running Debian etch (alsa with oss support). I've looked through the src (SDL 2.1.3) and I can't figure for the life of me how to set it. The one audio example that comes with it (test/loopwave.pl) doesn't use SDL::Mixer, it uses SDL::NewAudioSpec to set up the audio.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
