Please note that Gaim 2 beta 4 no longer depends on libao. From the changelog: "* Use GStreamer for playing sounds, instead of libao" Gaim should no longer depend on audiofile/libao, but rather Gstreamer. With the switch to Gstreamer, sound now no longer works (for me). When building gaim, configure says: checking for GSTREAMER... yes [...] Build with GStreamer support.. : yes Also, installed on my system: # equery list gst [ Searching for package 'gst' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ~] media-libs/gst-plugins-base-0.10.10 (0.10) [I--] [ ~] media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.10 (0.10) [I--] [ ~] media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.10.10 (0.10) [I--] [ ~] media-plugins/gst-plugins-x-0.10.10 (0.10) [I--] [ ~] media-plugins/gst-plugins-xvideo-0.10.10 (0.10) Dispite this, audio does not play in gaim.

Fixed in gaim-2.0.0_beta4-r1, thank you for the heads up.
Sounds worked for me in _beta4 with libao, I just compiled _beta4-r1 with Gstreamer support, and now there's no sound.

It seems it was related to bug 152353 as the latest beta4-r2 update seems to have fixed the issue.
