With Gnome 2.16 (I dunno if it's an issue with older versions), I have no sound when I start pingus from Main menu or from a Shortcut but this game works fine (with sound) when I start it from gnome-terminal. Tell me if you need my "emerge --info" (not sure it will be revelant for this bug). Weird problem noticed with ... pingus-0.6.0-r1 alsa-lib-1.0.13 esound-0.2.36-r2 vanilla-sources-2.6.19_rc5 (AC'97 stuff compiled in the kernel) & naturally I don't have ArTS installed on my laptop.
Have you tried to kill esd before launch pingus, it seems a gnome problem :-/
(In reply to comment #1) > Have you tried to kill esd before launch pingus, it seems a gnome problem :-/ > You got it. When you have ... belgix 15579 0.0 0.3 3752 1584 ? Ss 08:44 0:00 /usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -d default -unix -spawnfd 24 ... in your process list, sounds doesn't work when pingus is launched from a shortcut but works fine when is lauched from a gnome-session. Killing the process restore the functionality. The esound daemon can be restarted thereafter without any side effect. Just one more bug with this (fundamentally broken) esound daemon! Thanks.
I cannot reproduce this problem: pacho 23000 0.0 0.1 3220 1492 ?
