Hi all
For some time I've been trying to get speakfreely working on a lfs system. I as the user, is in the audio group and the sfmike etc binaries have the following permisions:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13402 2006-06-21 21:53 sfconvert
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36936 2006-06-04 21:30 sfecho
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8649 2006-06-21 21:53 sfinfo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root audio 14672 2006-06-04 21:30 sflaunch
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root audio 10144 2006-06-04 21:30 sflwl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root audio 18644 2006-06-04 21:30 sflwld
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root audio 125340 2006-06-04 21:30 sfmike
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root audio 45396 2006-06-04 21:30 sfreflect
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root audio 132052 2006-06-04 21:30 sfspeaker
I can play audio files through ogg123 and mplayer etc but just get the following error when I try to run speakfreely. From memery, it's a cvs version of speakfreely and the changelog has this top line:

This is the error I get:
Gena Joyce
Talk: sfmike: unable to initialise audio.
Unable to initialise audio.
This is a screenshot of having logged onto the reflector and initiating the who command, which only lists myself but when I tap the spacebar or someone talks it bails out.
I can't seem to find any logs to which I can refer nor see what's wrong with my permissions. Can anyone offer any ideas of what I haven't or have done that is causing this problem?
