Please copy the complete output of chromium, so that I can get some context. 
Also, try running chromium-setup and configuring sound from there. 
Do other sdl apps work with sound? 
Do you use arts or esd?

In the src_compile() section of the Chromium ebuild, the $myconf variable is
built, but never used. The line:

     ./configure || die

Shoudl be changed to:

    econf ${myconf} || die

Without $myconf, SDL and vorbis never make it into the program.

Um, yes, that was an oversight :-) fixed now on cvs.  So, does this fix fix your problem? Also, please run chromium-setup and (1) note the console output (2) click on 'openal' in the music/playlist tab and check for any strange output or errors.  Finally, another idea - in the chromium output you sent me you had an audiocd enabled as music. Maybe if you remove it'll help?

No reply --> I presume this is fixed. 
Comment 5 EJ Finneran 2003-10-26 09:56:42 UTC
I also had this problem, but that ebuild change didn't help.  I found a posting
on the forums that says if you have the openal package merged, it breaks
Chromiums internal openal or something to that effect.

Once I unmerged openal and remerged Chromium everything worked fine. 
Unfortunatly some other games required openal so this is just a temporary
fix.
