Hi Patrick,

sorry it took me such long time to respond, but I had to reproduce, fix and find the time for it.

it means enough libraries are installed for cynthiune. MP3 is one thing, other formats are other. One library (dependency) each.
I suppose you cannot play WAV or AIFF files in your Cynthiune?

I know the Cuckoo animation within AClock is a gadget, but I would
understand why it is dumb and I guess my GNUstep system could be
misconfigured or some lib or some bundle could be lacking.

does it log out to the console that it couldn't find an audio library?

I would check that you have the libasound, libmad and audiofile dev libraries installed. I tried, at first I had it siled. Installed enough libraries, reconfigured gui, reinstalled it, it worked.
