I disagree. I now use pulseaudio, and I have no such error if ogg123 uses alsa directly. > µRoarD takes the audio device and expects other clients to connect to it > not try to connect to the device directly.

But this means a change of configuration. That's bad for a package that was installed automatically during an upgrade. And even when installed manually, a package shouldn't make things no longer work just after its installation (i.e. it should let the user do the configuration first, such as updating /etc/libao.conf first). > > Note: muroard was automatically installed due to a dependency. > > I haven't fund such a dependeny.

There was a bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=613625 but it's now fixed (however once installed, the muroard package remained). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
