noatun refuses to play anything. no output to console, i can click play, however noatun seems simply to skip to the end of the file and stop... emerge --info -------------- Portage 2.1.1_pre1-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/amd64-vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo-r10 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r10 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 2.0.0_rc1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.16 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon64 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/lib/fax /usr/lib64/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/spool/fax/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon64 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--alphabetical" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.blueyonder.co.uk ftp://mirrors.blueyonder.co.uk/mirrors/gentoo http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" LINGUAS="uk" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/voip" SYNC="rsync://rsync.uk.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 7zip X Xaw3d a52 aac acpi aim alsa apm ares arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bzlib calendar cdparanoia cdr cli cpudetection crypt css cups curl dbus dga divx4linux dri dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd ethereal exif expat fam fbcon ffmpeg flac flash font-server foomaticdb fortran ftp gif gimpprint gpm gps gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal icq iee1394 ieee1394 imlib ipv6 isdnlog jabber java javascript joystick jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility lm_sensors logitech-mouse lzw lzw-tiff mcve mgetty mikmod mime mng mozilla mozsvg mp3 mpeg mplayer msn musepack musicbrainz mysql nas ncurses network nls nptl nptlonly nvidia offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl osc oscar oss pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime rar rdesktop readline recode reflection sasl scanner sdl sensord session sndfile sox spell spl ssl subtitles svg symlink tcltk tcpd theora tidy tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb utf8 v4l v4l2 vcd videos vorbis wmf wxwindows xcomposite xine xinerama xmms xorg xosd xpm xprint xscreensaver xv xvid yahoo yv12 zeroconf zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_mouse input_devices_keyboard input_devices_joystick kernel_linux linguas_uk userland_GNU video_cards_nvidia video_cards_v4l video_cards_nv" Unset: CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
You need to have aRts built with the relevant use flags enabled and the server running. On top of that the KDE guys advide to use the artsplugin-akode to play stuff. And of course noatun will not play files arts (or its plugins: kde-base/artsplugin-* ) can't decode. Does this help you?
What version of noatun is this with, and is it still an issue?
