Comment 2 for bug 752091

Same problem here. According to the project site, alsa is indeed supported (check this http://mp3blaster.sourceforge.net/#faq). However, those instructions do not work. If I follow them I got:

$ mp3blaster
In config file, line 0001: Bad Value

My guess is the version on the repos has not been compiled properly since alsa support (sdl) is not available. As far as I my tests, it looks like the default driver is OSS, but it is not possible to configure it to alsa:

$ mp3blaster --debug

$ more .mp3blaster
Debugging of mp3blaster started.
