Given how slow XMMS::Remote responds on my laptop (not sure why), I've been thinking of ditching it in favor of SDL::Music;

So I have it a whirl like so... 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use SDL;
use SDL::Mixer;
use SDL::Music;
my $mixer = new SDL::Mixer(-frequency=>44100, 
               -channels=>2, 
               -size=>1024);
  
my $mp3 = new SDL::Music('./test.mp3');  

$mixer->play_channel(0, $mp3, 0);

[download]
Which dies with "open /dev/sequencer: No such device".

Why is it looking at /dev/sequencer and how do I change it?

I'm running Debian etch (alsa with oss support). I've looked through the src (SDL 2.1.3) and I can't figure for the life of me how to set it. The one audio example that comes with it (test/loopwave.pl) doesn't use SDL::Mixer, it uses SDL::NewAudioSpec to set up the audio.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
