Little hint on the sounds that I found. I have festival installed, but you have to start it from the prompt before you start xastir. I have it in file so I think its "./festival -server" w/o quotes. Someone can correct me. Then you open xastir and enable sound and it should work then. I found this problem too when I installed 8.04 but it's a real easy fix.

All I had to do was run xastir& from a standard terminal prompt and the system built all the required files under my /home directory. I am really enjoying the program. My next challenge is to figure out how to get the alert sounds to work.
