[CF List] Not getting sounds (gtk+ client)

[dubious (cf)]

Yup, in fact I downloaded both versions (the .au and the .raw) just
in case.

I put them in /usr/local/lib/sounds which the client compile lists
as the default.

I'll recheck the sound volume when I get a chance, but I
SUSPECT that's not the problem.

It could be KDE, as I occasionally run into problems getting
to the sound channel from other programs (e.g. Xine), but 
normally running the programs through artsdsp correctly 
passes the sounds through.

I do remember that last time I tried crossfire at all (compiled 
server and played for about 1/2 hour...about 2 years ago...) I
was getting some sound, but it was very intermittent during
the game, and at the time amounted to the occasional "blip"
of sound that was apparently associated with combat...I don't
remember what WM I was using at the time, it may have been KDE 1.x
or it could have been fvwm2.

As you say, Crossfire's a lot of fun even without the sounds, so
it's not an urgent issue for me, I'm just intensely curious to find
out what I'm screwing up...

      I'm having the same problem, no sound. I'm also using KDE, 2.1 and suspect

      the problem is with KDE's sound configuration. But crossfire is very good

      even without sound.
