I'm using Fink Commander to install unix packages and X11 to view them. I'm somewhat new at this stuff and I can't figure out why I have no sound in apps like xmms and xgalaga. I get the following error messages:

Can't Open Audio
1. Make sure you have the correct output plugin selected (there's only 2 and neither seem to work).
2. Make sure no other device is using the soundcard.
3. Check to see if your soundcard is working properly.

Does anyone know how to get sound out of xmms in X11?

Have you tried starting the esound-daemon manually before running XMMS (or atleast before pressing play)? I have to do that sometimes. Just run 'esd' and you should hear some beeps and blopps when it's starting up.

Do I run 'esd' inside of X11's terminal?

(edit) Works perfectly! Thanks for the tip.

One more question. How do I install xmms skins? Where is the skins folder in OSX / X11?
