Thanks. When trying to load the ALSA sound, stderr just reports "could not find module vm-sound-ALSA".
Doing an ldd on the vm-sound-ALSA.so included with the Pharo VM, I get: linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf76e9000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf7515000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf76ea000) Doing an ldd on the vm-sound-ALSA.so included with the Squeak VM, I get: linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffbdbfe000) libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2 (0x00007f3c507ba000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f3c503f3000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f3c500ee000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f3c4feea000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f3c4fccd000) librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007f3c4fac4000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f3c50cca000) There doesn't seem to be anything clearly missing. Doing an ldd on the vm-sound-pulse.so included with the Squeak VM, I get: linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf7721000) libpulse-simple.so.0 => not found libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf754f000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7722000) I did try to install the libpulse package (apt-get install libpulse-dev) but that file is still missing. Weirdly enough, doing an ldd on the vm-sound-null.so included with Pharo, I get: linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf774c000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf757c000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf774d000) which is the exact same thing as for vm-sound-ALSA.so. So, I would imagine that if the one worked than the other would.
