During use, wsoundserver would play one sound file and then crash on the next window event. Starting wsoundserver from an xterm showed the error in esound. The INSTALL file from the distribution indicates that esound support is not yet reliable and this proved to be the case with me even though I updated esound and recompiled. The make file contains: .if defined(HAVE_ESOUND) USE_ESOUND= yes CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-esd .endif but for some reason defaulted to using esound even though I did not define HAVE_ESOUND. HAVE_ESOUND. >How-To-Repeat: Compile and use wsoundserver. >Fix: I commented out the whole esound if-endif section in the make file and recompiled wsoundserver. It compiled without esound support and now works. IMHO, since the esound support in wsoundserver is admittedly a risk, it should only be compiled in with a positive response from the user; the Makefile should be changed to reflect that. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
