The 1st thing I recommend you do is setup your software repositories to make software installation easier (so as to get your media players working better). Please follow these instructions:
Repositories/11.0 - openSUSE-Community
and add ONLY oss, non-oss, update and packman. No others! When necessary, you can add “other repos” on an “as and if required” basis, and remove them immediately afterward, … but from what I have read adding extra repos OTHER than the 4 I mention only causes significant grief to newbies.

Now, reference your problem, you note an error “Cannot open audi device
Another pplication may be using it”, can you determine what this other device might be? Next time you get that error, copy and paste this into a gnome-terminal / konsole:
lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/snd/*
and post the output here.

I play mp3 on my openSUSE PC with xmms, xine, MPlayer and vlc with no problem.

Thank your for answer.
This reult lsof:

And you typed this at the time you obtained the error you noted? That does not make much sense to me.

Does totem provide the capability to select different sound engines? If so, did you try some different ones?

In summary, I don’t think I can help. I don’t use totem, and the above lsof provides me no information.
