Okay, let me put this thread to bed once again. In your home directory there is a hidden subdirectory called .zinf. In that directory there is a user preferences file called preferences. Imagine That! There are two lines which you need to modify to get zinf to play nicely. The first is the TextUI variable which they managed to fuck up and leave the default an old ui name which doesn't exist anymore. You need to change that line to say "TextUI: cmdline.ui". Careful on the case of these things folks. Now, further down in the file there is another option SoftMixer you need to change that to read "SoftMixer: false". Okay that's done. Now, no more talk about the iritations of zinf, you guys are way more iritating.
