uh oh...dreaded whine. Idler Pulley?

I was just coming home from the store and I thought I heard a whine when I accelerated. Sure enough I get it home and that is what I am hearing. I pooped the hood and the whine is definitely coming from the belt, alternator, pulleys area. Its sounds like a power steering whine except changes in frequency with higher RPMs.
Is this the idler pulley(s)? I have had the Saab for 2 years and they have not been replaced since I have had possession of the car. But Im also unsure of exactly what they sound like when they start to go bad...only read the descriptions on this great board.
I remember seeing one of Dean's or Ander's posts about "inspecting the idler pulleys". What, visually, am I looking for? I want to make sure it is them making the noise and not the alternator, etc.
Plus I cant find a drs(underscore)install on the idlers in the archives. Anyone have a quick link to that? Thanks :)
