It starts like this: About About GNUsound .PP GNUsound is a multitrack sound editor for GNOME. It reads and writes many audio formats such as WAV, MP3 and FLAC through its modular system of file format drivers and can also ex? tract the audio from video formats like MPG, WMV and AVI through the FFmpeg file format driver. It can use either OSS, ALSA or i.e. it's not properly wrapped, there's no markup for headings c., the command .PP appears in the output...in short, a total trainwreck. If you look at /usr/share/man/man1/gnusound.1.gz, you'll see it's identical to the output, i.e. man can't parse it. I'm guessing it's been improperly automatically generated. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org/ | maximiste, n. pessimiste (Roux)
