-a oss ... would use the oss driver, and gst123 -a alsa=hw:1
... would use the alsa driver with the alsa device hw:1.

Besides filenames, playlist entries or command line args can be
directories. In this case, gst123 recursively searches the directory
and plays all files contained in it.
INTERRUPT
You can abort gst123 at any time by pressing Ctrl-C. If you are playing
multiple files, this will stop the current file and begin playing the
next one. If you want to abort playing immediately instead of skipping
to the next file, press Ctrl-C within the first second of the playback
of a new file.
