and why do I get a black screen with this mysterious message at the bottom when I am attempting to play a WAV file in MC running in a terminal (not in X!)? And, of course, I just get this message, no music. What in the world is happening, here?
Just upgraded to Slackware Current on my old eeepc netbook, decided to play a piece of music afterward to relax, and I confronted this. I looked into the extension editor, and it says about wav files and other sound files that it follows what is in /usr/libexec/mc/ext.d/sound.sh That file does not seem to contain anything of the kind. It says it is going to use "play" in the terminal (which is what I expected) and it says it wants to use "xmms" in X. But nowhere that I could think of looking did I find any message resembling what is above. And what could it conceivably have to do with "opening" a WAV file which is on my hard drive, not somewhere else, and wanting to do the obvious which is to play it? This is totally weird. _______________________________________________ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
