Aims.It is commonly assumed that the massive winds of AGB stars are dust-driven and pulsation-enhanced. However, detailed frequency-dependent dynamical models that can explain the observed magnitudes of mass loss rates and outflow velocities have been published so far only for C-stars. This letter reports on first results of similar models for oxygen-rich AGB stars. The aim is to provide a better understanding of the wind driving mechanism, the dust condensation sequence, and the role of pulsations.
