Amarok, Totem, Rhythmbox and xine don't work with oss

Hi All,

I have moved from alsa to oss but now some players have left to work...

Amarok : In configure options, I see it uses phonon, so I go to configure it in Audio Hardware Setup tab and it seems sound card is not recognized because it appears disabled (I can't select nothing).

Totem 3.2.0: There is no place to configure output device.

Rhythmbox : No option available to configure output to oss.

Xine : I can configure the output to oss4 but when I open a mp3 file to play, it crashes and exits.

As far as I know all these applications use gstreamer, so in some of them there is no option where I can configure the output since it has to be done by configuring gstreamer and that is what I have done through gconf-editor (system -> gstreamer -> audio -> default section).... but it continues without working....

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

PD.: Some other players like audacious, gnome player, kaffeine, banshee and smplayer works ok.
