hey i used portage to install point2play... portage uses the small tarball with
out all the lib stuff... anyway the sound test fails to detect my sound card...
i had this working a while back so i unmerged point2play and then using the
full tarball from transgaming installed manually. sound is detected fine... i
can undo adn redo if someone can tell me how to get specif information that
might indicate what portage isnt doing that the manual install is.

Reproducible: Always

what is the error message you get when you run the sound test ?

it should display something

well its not in a terminal but through the frontend of point2play and it just
says  ... Basic sound test , Unable to play sound... your sound card may not be
configured correctly.

i had to remove the manual installation and re-emerge the portage version so
while i have it do you know if there is a way to run the sound test to produce
more verbose output?

in other words you're using python 2.3.x and thus have the oss modules

could try running it with strace and see if weird device errors show up (like perm denied on /dev/dsp)

i have this bug too. Hm... is there a previous version of point2play working? I
tried 1.2 and 1.2.1.
