Hrm, yes, very mysterious. I thought the quotes were being included in the variable's value. Here are the exact steps I took to fix my problem: In a console, % export FIREFOX_DSP=auto % mozilla-firefox Suddently, sound works properly! <fiddle with mozilla-firefoxrc; sound continues working, even when I launch firefox from outside that console.> % export FIREFOX_DSP= % mozilla-firefox Sound continues working, and does so whether I launch firefox from inside the console or outside. So now I am completely stumped how this fixed it. Immediately prior to this experiment, I had run firefox and the sound was broken. I had also run % dpkg-reconfigure mozilla-browser and % dpkg-reconfigure mozilla-firefox but I stuck with all the same options. If I could find a way to re-break firefox sound, then maybe I could get to the bottom of this. -Chris - - -- --- ----- -------- ------------- --------------------- Christopher J Peikert, MIT Computer Science & AI Lab, 32-G608 http://theory.csail.mit.edu/~cpeikert/ "A witty saying proves nothing." -- Voltaire -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
