Greetings
I have just installed xmms from binaries on a dual 1.8 G5 with OS X 10.3.4. It doesn't work.
It gives me the "Couldn't open audio" error dialog.
Here's the related fink FAQ and my "responses" to it:
> Q9.1: I get no sound from XMMS > > A: Make sure you have the "eSound Output Plugin" selected in the > XMMS preferences. For some strange reason, it selects the disk > writer plugin as the default.
"eSound Output Plugin" is not available as a choice, only "OSS Driver 1.2.8 [libOSS.so]" and "DiskWriter Plugin [libdisk_writer.so]". Here's what's in the xmms output plugins folder:
Parker-Bo:/sw/lib/xmms/Output parkefb$ ls
libOSS.la libOSS.so libdisk_writer.la libdisk_writer.so
Note: no libesdout.so. A Finder search reveals that there is no file called libesdout.so anywhere on the machine.

Nope. Sound isn't muted. eSound is installed:
Parker-Bo:~ parkefb$ fink list -i esound

i esound 0.2.32-4 Enlightened Sound Daemon

i esound-common 0.2.32-4 Enlightened Sound Daemon
i esound-shlibs 0.2.32-4 Enlightened Sound Daemon
Parker-Bo:~ parkefb$
Here's the info on xmms:
Parker-Bo:~ parkefb$ fink list -i xmms

Parker-Bo:~ parkefb$

/usr/libexec/config.guess doesn't exist on my machine. But I can use esdcat to successfully play other .aif sound files on my machine.

Starting and quitting esd manually gives
Parker-Bo:/tmp parkefb$ esd
using device Built-in Audio for output:
with sample rate 44100.000000, 2 channels and 32-bit sample

^CParker-Bo:/tmp parkefb$No error messages.

/tmp/.esd doesn't exist on this machine.
I have done
$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and no change.
Any help is appreciated!
