The search for the cause of the discrete absorption components (DACs) in P Cygni profiles in UV spectra of O stars continues: pulsation, rotation and magnetic fields are probably all in various degrees important. We highlight some key observations which show that DACs start close to the stellar surface, and emphasize the possible role of localized magnetic fields (which are still to be detected).
