I didn't get sound output from the what was supposed to be a startup sound (and has always worked in the past). Yes, ALSA is configured correctly. And I got the nasty aRTS message at startup as well. What is interesting though, is Thunderbird will correctly play a custom .wav file when new mail is detected (me saying: Hey, you have new mail, dude!). No sound at KDE exit either, which has always been there in the past. > In any case, I reran my kdelibs script without the > --enable-fast-malloc=full switch and I don't have the failure > notification. Sound works fine, including startup. In that case, I think things are better when not using the switch. Did sound work at startup for you Bruce, when you received the aRTS message? > In any case, removing the switch won't hurt anything and is easy enough > to do. > > Thoughts? I agree that if removing the switch makes the error message go away and nobody yet has confirmed that the switch actually does what the book says it does, removing it is prudent. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.27] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 19:05:01 up 1 day, 11:05, 3 users, load average: 0.98, 0.37, 0.18 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
