Aplay works on command line, but not from Seamonkey Right, this probably suggests that something changed in Seamonkey and this is why the error arose. I assume that you are running Seamonkey with the same privileges as before mplayer stopped working? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Only one out of 30 is in that format. It does not play (corrupt) but the other 29 play, just fine with mplayer, aplay, amarok or just using the default seamonkey app (aplay) using this url: file:///home/james/projects/voice-message.wav Is it possible that the wav files are corrupted? (Do you have just one sample or multiple?) No, only one is corrupt. I can play them all sorts of ways. Seamonkey is messed up. When I change the helper app. config. it still launches the old helper application. Exiting Seamonkey and restarting it does not effect changes. I have to exit out of KDE for 'helper app' changes to take effect? I recompile seamonkey with --deep but that has not fixed the problem...
