Yes: "aptitude -D dist-upgrade", IIRC. > All your symptoms are not reproduceible on my powerbook running > 1.0.13 ? > > I choosed alsa explicit as artsd hardware, ans sound works perfect. How, where did you choose this? On KDE control Center --> "Sound System" ALSA seems preselected on the Hardware tab ... and I haven't filled in anything for entries on that tab, like "Override device location" "Use other custom options" etc. Again: Everything works with the version mentioned: I'll install 1.0.13 and try with FVWM ... let's see ... OK: I've changed to FVWM now: xine, xmms work ... alsaplayer does not: $ alsaplayer ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1565:(snd_pcm_direct_parse_open_conf) The field ipc_perm must be a valid file permission snd_pcm_open: Invalid argument (default) Failed to initialize plugin! Failed to register plugin: /usr/lib/alsaplayer/output/libalsa_out.so Failed to load output plugin "alsa". Trying defaults. ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1565:(snd_pcm_direct_parse_open_conf) The field ipc_perm must be a valid file permission snd_pcm_open: Invalid argument (default) Failed to initialize plugin! /usr/lib/alsaplayer/output/libalsa_out.so failed to load NOTE: THIS IS THE NULL PLUGIN. YOU WILL NOT HEAR SOUND!! And no sound problems on FVWM with libasound2 1.0.12-1 when starting alsaplayer. So what were the changes you've made that it does not work with the new libasound2 version? I read the changelogs: Nothing I could use. Thanks in anticipation.
