oss2jack problem [Solved]

I recently set up mpd and sonata and it worked, but I wanted to allow multiple programs to play sound so I decided to install oss2jack.  It worked, but then  I rebooted and I get an error when trying to play something.  For example, I type: ogg123 music/file.ogg, I get:

ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
=== Could not load default driver and no driver specified in config file. Exiting.

This is my /etc/rc.conf:

This is my /etc/rc.local:

Does anyone know why it isn't working?

Re: oss2jack problem [Solved]

you need to configure apps to use oss instead of alsa.
