As some of you are aware, I've been concerned that some Lucid (Ubuntu 10.04) apps don't work correctly. alsaplayer was one of these. However, on Wed. I noted that there was a newer version of alsaplayer in that project's site. It built and ran fine on my ASUS UL30A. However, it did not build to a satisfactory install on a 32 bit Acer laptop (problem with sound modules).
As I was asked to put a bug report on Launchpad by alsaplayer lead developer, I first took a clean install of Lucid on an external drive and tested the install of alsaplayer from repository. (This was on a Eee 900). Worked fine, though it had failed before and led to Linux Mint Debian being the main distro on that machine new. Back to the Acer -- remove built alsaplayer and install from repository. Works fine. So it looks like whatever glitch was present is now gone. I suspect it was in an Ubuntu patch to GTK somewhere.
