An OTA update can brick a kindle if it runs out of space on the main root partition, which can happen when you add your own files to it.

I haven't copied anything to the root partition... I saw that there was alsa so I got libasound, cross-compiled it and used it to compile mpg123 with alsa support only. That was it.
It runs but it does not produce any sound. I screwed around with the alsamixer sliders and when mpg123 starts I can hear something, like the audio starting, but no music.
My idea is to compile it as static as I can so I don't have to have users messing with the OS, at the expense of some size overhead... anyway it did not work, I will check the mplayer package to see how can I get that working.
Anyway the symlinks hint is cool. Thanks guys!
