Do you mean from within my gnome session? When I play within my session from a gnome-terminal I get an error: jose@sweety:~$ play /usr/share/sounds/generic.wavsox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': Device or resource busy But as I said, when I click on a menu item or press a button (on my desktop), I still get sound. In my sound preferences I have esound enabled and system sounds. Maybe esd is "blocking" the device? -- SincerelyJose Alburquerque _______________________________________________gnome-list mailing listgnome-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
