Yeah - I tried to use esdplay and it will not play my wav files - it simply does nothing - however if I use "play" the wav file plays fine so I know the wav files are good. In the end, I removed thunderbird and then used yast to install the 64-bit version ( I have an AMD64x2) and now it all seems to work fine. I think what happened was that tbird upgraded itself and installed the 32bit version. Seems that after the yast re-install it all seems to be good now. Again, thanks for your help. Rgds.
