According to the Gnome library documentation.
"These functions also allow for the fact that no sound may be supported
on the current platform. So applications can safely call these functions
to play sounds and they will just quietly return if no action is
possible.
.
.
gnome_sound_connection_get ()
int gnome_sound_connection_get (void);
Rarely needed to by programs directly, this function may be useful if a
program has cached a sample with gnome_sound_sample_load() and now
wishes to call esd_sample_play() to play the sample.
Returns : the file descriptor of our esound connection or -1 on
error."
In my case, there is no esd on the system, and AFAIK there never has
been.
So this function ought to return immediately, as the documentation
states.
But it does not.
Surely this is a wrong.
