I have SuSE 6.0 installed, and I compiled my kernel to get the sound working. It will play CDs and .wav files just fine, but I get a bunch of staticy crap anytime I try to use x11amp to try and play MP3s. Any ideas?

I use MPG123 to play my mp3's.
in an xterm window go to the dir where your
mp3's are and type: mpg123 *.mp3. It's not as pretty as the GUI stuff but it works great.
You can even set a buffer size.
I do this: mpg123 -b 1024 *.mp3
So now I have a 1meg buffer for my mp3s.
When I am bringing up netscape or whatever
it doesn't skip.
Check out these places for mp3 players.
