Add to the list the 7th software I just tried. I know this is pretty 
detailed, thus should goes to the app developer, which I'll do later.

   Cynthiune 0.9.5

   * Play mp3 music gets error 'Cynthinue[27451] error preparing output
     for 2 channels at a rate of 44100.'

I noticed it depended on mad, thus I issue commandline 'madplay' to play 
the very mp3 file, result: works out of the box. So the underlying 
library must be functional.

Then I Checked setting of Cynthinue. there are General settings and OSS 
settings. OSS have default device /dev/dsp, the same as madplay command. 
General setting have 'Output module' which is an empty selection list, 
nothing to choose from. I start to play smart thinking the developer 
mis-calculated number of output modules in preparing selection list, 
thus re-compile Cynthinue with both OSS and Esound. although Esound 
doesn't work on my computer, having esound support, cynthinue allows me 
to choose OSS then. Thus I managed to get it working.
