do you have a .mplayerrc or other config files overriding it?
The OSS use flag is ignored unless you also disable the radio use flag.

(In reply to comment #2) > The OSS use flag is ignored unless you also disable the radio use flag. > Right, so you can just override it in mplayer configs with ao=alsa, either globally (/etc/mplayer.conf) or locally (~/.mplayer/config)
