I tried rebuilding the RPM, but it required the smpeg package
for the sound mixer. Missing smpeg, it builds without sound.
This package isn't provided in RH80 (provides libsmpeg.so).
Got the smpeg src.rpm, but it had problems with g++3; So I
built it with 296:
setenv CC gcc296
setenv CXX g++296
rpmbuild SPECS/smpeg.spec
After installing this RPM, the tuxracer src.rpm built properly
and there is sound. If someone updated and had smpeg previously
installed, just rebuilding tuxracer probably works. Unfortunately
the tuxracer rpm .spec should have included this as a dependency.

Redhat-config-sound appears to correctly configure my SB Live! Value and

GNOME/Metacity. No obvious messages in the logs (other than inability to
find a joystick, which also happens in 7.3).
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this problem?
This is a known problem in RH8.
What I did was download tuxracer from their website and compile and
install this version. It was easy to do and worked right out of the box.
A recompile from the source rpm from RH might even work, but I have not
tried that.
Found it in Bugzilla (74843). One report said that rebuilding the SRPM
was enough.
Thanks.
