pulseaudio can be used in console mode. speakup and mplayer won't fight if pulseaudio is set to use dmix and you dont name the sound devices using the hw: syntax. You can also use apulse to "fake" pulseaudio but actually use alsa. For instance: apulse mplayer <some song> You can also use Slint instead of Debian that provides the above out of the box <smile> Didier Spaier Slint maintainer.

Is it even worthwhile to get pulseaudio to run on a debian system without a x display? I would like to have speakup and mplayer not fight over the same sound card.
