Subject: neverball: doesn't start if not using arts/kde
Package: neverball
Version: 1.4.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: this bug should be gone in lenny
When trying to start nverball on a GNOME system without arts, neverball
fails:
0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ neverball
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Creating link /home/eddy/.kde/socket-twix.
can't create mcop directory
This looks a lot like http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=396219
and I think the proper fix would be not to let an arts failure bring
down the entire game.
Known workaround is to create the ~/.kde/socket-`hostname -s` directory.

If you want to use pulseaudio then you need to setup your alsa to go through
pulseaudio. See:
http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#ALSAApplications
The pulse alsa plugin can be found in libasound2-plugins.
I've just tested neverball, it seems to work fine.
Making the setup more automated is still on our todo list, but it has proven to
be quite tricky to get right.
Closing this bug as it's a user configuration error, not a bug in pulseaudio
