Autospawning = evil. Don't do it. Hmm, when I hacked the auto-spawning code I made sure that it worked event for the ESD drop-in stuff. Are you suggesting that this doesn't work? > I've not looked (stolen) at the fedora rpm for a while so this may not > apply to you but figured it was worth mentioning :) Hmm, if I remember correctly: GNOME will fallback to non-cache event sound playback if a cached sample for the event is not cached. That might be the reason why event sounds still work for you, although nothing is in the cache.
