I decided to go ahead and remove totem (don't much care for it anyway), and when I double-click a sound file in nautilus, it runs mplayer to play the file, but I also get an error window (from mplayer) that says "[AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy" but it is playing the sound file just fine. I can close the error window and everything works; if I close mplayer instead, both mplayer and the error window disappear.
What gives?

What sound file? ogg? mp3? mpc? wma? wav? (ace? flac?)
Install xmms and xmms-mp3. Then find some SRPMs for xmms-wma and xmms-musepack on freshrpms. Check wiki.centos.org for how to build up a build environment for a simple user, it's very straightforward.
Then right-click on your respective sound files -> Properties -> choose to open them with XMMS.
Cheers,
Niki

Okay, this is weird. It's not happening today. It was happening yesterday with mp3 files, but I didn't try any others (not sure I have any except a bunch of mp3s and one wav file).
Another weird: when I hover my cursor over the one .wav files I have on this machine, it plays it - if I double click it, I get two mplayers playing it (out of sync - really weird!) and the error (but this makes sense).
In fact, today I can connect my Windows VM to the sound device, no problem.
I would say "never mind" but there is one more strange thing: when I right click on a sound file and try to get the properties, I get an error window that says: "Couldn't load the 'Properties dialog' interface. Make sure that Totem is properly installed." Then I get another window that says: "Creating Properties window. You can stop this operation by clicking cancel." When I click the "Ok" button in the first error window, the second one goes away and a properties dialog comes up. BUT I can't access the audio properties of the file - they're blank (probably a totem thing).
This is moving OT since it is clearly not a CentOS problem but a Gnome problem, so I'll pursue it there, but does anyone else have an idea of what's going on here?
Thanks, but: 1) I should be able to choose my favorite player and have it work (mplayer does just fine) and 2) While I might try out xmms, that shouldn't be the solution.
Shoulding a lot, here, aren't I?
Do I have to reinstall totem to get nautilus to read the audio file properties properly? That seems a little too interconnected for packages that ought to be independent (see? I can say "ought to" instead of "should," too :-).
Thanks.
