The reason is that esdplay is used to play the .wav file. Emerge esound to get this command. For me, unfortunately, esdplay does not offer a good playback quality. The sound is not good and the beginning of the file is chopped off. The file worked without any problems with aplay. I read that not using the ebuild version of thunderbird but the one provided by www.mozilla.org does not have this problem. I think this should be changed in the ebuild to use aplay instead of esdplay, if possible. As a workaround try using this extension for Thunderbird: http://globs.org/articles.php?lng=en&pg=9 It can execute any command when new mail arrives, so creating a small script around aplay to play any wav file and pointing Yamb at it does the job. Is this still a problem? Is it also reproducable with the binary? Closing, stale and upstream. Reopen if you disagree. *** Bug 208992 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
