>And I'm currently the machine has a Sound Blaster 32 card installed. I just
want to play back MP3's through >mpg123.

Right first thing is do you mean an AWE32 or one of the pci variants, either
the procedure should be the same since both are PnP, id just have to be
realy jealous if it was an awe :D

Anyway, going by the handbook you'll need to add the lines 

device pcm 
device sbc 

to you're kernal config file and then recompile you're kernal to include
support for you're card, once you;ve installed the newley compiled kernel
and rebooted do "dmesg | grep pcm" and you should have a like annoucing the
devices initialisation (should, lovley word that).

If pcm was initilised properly then you should only need to do the following
to finish the job

cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV snd0

After then launch mpg123 and see if it worked.

Mind you im no expert, i only did this for the first time 2 weeks ago :D
