Someone in this group may have explained this to me previously.

mpg123 from Slackware.  See previous list discussions if it does not work 
out of the box, in case you need another /dev

Or Mplayer.  See lots of discussions about playing streaming audio 
(realplayer and windows media and ogg formats) standalone or from links.

workbone, with a symlink in /dev
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom  (assuming CD drive is hdc)
Turn on numlock, put in CD, type workbone, use number pad to play, stop, 
pause...

For midi get drvmidi.
(I posted something at my site for BL3, converted from rpm).

Have you tried again with DSL, manually insmodding sb?
