The following line starts the Opie environment I guess (it is truncated 
so I could be wrong). Killing this process will kill the opie server.

Close all the applications and do: "kill -9 155" as root user.

I am sorry John I do not see a sound daemon thingy in this process log,

Perhaps there is someone with a Zaurus 5500 in the Netherlands that I 
could borrow for a weekend ???

In the mean time could you try the latest Opie package on this page: 
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-familiar.html ? The zaurus package 
is a repackaging of this one, but only into different directories ;-)

You might need to replace the files !! Then you could kill the opie 
environement and do a:

opie-vlc -vvv --qte-guiserver /var/a.mpeg

Is there a way to get the /var/log/messages from the Sharp ?? It might 
tell more about what goes wrong when VLC tries to open the sound device.
