Sound is working fine in KDE. However if I run /usr/bin/aoss to launch firefox I get this: ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/$LIB/libaoss.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. I tried hard-coding the path in the aoss script to /usr/lib/libaoss.so.0.0.0 but it didn't help: ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libaoss.so.0.0.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. I am not seeing a permissions problem on the files: [root@ben lib]# ls -al libaoss* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77154 2008-04-28 16:35 libaoss.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 853 2008-04-28 16:35 libaoss.la* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-04-28 16:35 libaoss.so -> libaoss.so.0.0.0* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-04-28 16:35 libaoss.so.0 -> libaoss.so.0.0.0* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 59452 2008-04-28 16:35 libaoss.so.0.0.0* What is the problem with preloading libaoss?
