Trying to listen an ogg internet radio stream generated a very strange error:

len@black:~$ ogg123 http://cityfm.mediasat.ro:8000/cityfm_48.ogg<br></br>Creating link /home/len/.kde/socket-black.<br></br>can't create mcop directory

I have tried

apt-get --purge remove vorbis-tools<br></br>apt-get install vorbis-tools

with no success until I remembered I have seen this error before related to alsa09. I did a grep in /etc for alsa09 and found it in /etc/libao.conf. It’s just a question about changing:

default_driver=alsa09

to

default_driver=alsa

Now ogg123 works correctly.
