When I press "Browse" in Pidgin Configuration Page for Sound I don't get the right place of default sound file. Pidgin may use files from GTK collection. When I use Arch Linux I can use "play %s" but "play" isnot installed as default on FreeBSD.

Still find "smaller" sound :D -- Ky Anh, Huynh Homepage: http://viettug.org/
