Why won't XMMS play .au files?
I'm running the xmms 1.2.10-1 package. $ apt-cache show xmms ... It's able to read and play: * Audio MPEG layer 1, 2, and 3 (with mpg123 plug-in), * WAV, RAW, AU (with internal wav plug-in and MikMod plug-in), ... When I run XMMS the audio input plugin includes the following: MikMod Player 1.2.10 [libmikmod.so] Wave Player 1.2.10 [libwav.so] But it will *not* play any of these files: $ file *.au foo1.au: Sun/NeXT audio data: 16-bit linear PCM, stereo, 44100 Hz foo.au:Sun/NeXT audio data: 16-bit linear PCM, mono, 22050 Hz vsound4090.au: Sun/NeXT audio data: 16-bit linear PCM, mono, 22050 Hz Any idea why not? -- Thanks, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Your description leaves a lot to the imagination. My imagination says 'user error.' Good point, sorry. When I try to run it from the command line $ xmms *.au XMMS launches but shows an empty playlist and opens the dialogue box for adding files to the playlist. When I try to add these files using that dialogue it won't add them. This is the same behaviour that occurs with file types that XMMS can't play (e.g. trying to play non-audio files by mistake or audio files of an unsuitable WAVE type). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
