hydrogen and oss...how do I get it working

I use oss-linux-free as the sound on my laptop here, but I cannot get hydrogen to cooperate with it.  I've read on hydrogen's documentation that it uses OSS by default, but when I try to start hydrogen in the terminal with the oss driver, here's what happens:

[ken@kensx2 ~]$ hydrogen -d oss
Warning: no locale found: /usr/share/hydrogen/data/i18n/hydrogen.en_US.utf8
Warning: error loading locale: /usr/share/hydrogen/data/i18n/hydrogen.en_US.utf8.qm

Does anyone else have this issue with hydrogen?

Re: hydrogen and oss...how do I get it working

OK, if no one is replying...this looks like an issue with ladspa.  I tried installing some of the ladspa plugins but this did not help one bit.  Maybe the ladspa package is compiled only for ALSA support?
