An accidental look into /etc/pluggerrc brought an explanation why plugger is sometimes numb. One can see in this file the following: audio/basic: au,snd: Basic audio file audio/x-basic: au,snd: Basic audio file loop: xanim -Zr +W$window +q +f $file many: xanim -Zr +W$window +q +f +Ze $file and 'xanim' does not seem to be very musical even if installed. :-) Replacing this stanza with audio/basic: au,snd: Basic audio file audio/x-basic: au,snd: Basic audio file exits : play $file appears to do the trick. BTW - I cannot find a format of pluggerrc anywhere (without studying sources) but this "exits : play $file" seem to be a good idea on the next entry for 'wav' files as well. With it a file is played once instead of continuously in a loop. The same 'plugger' version is in RH 7 and it is affected in the same manner. Michal michal
Thanks. I have fixed this problem. You will find a new plugger-3.2-9 in next rawhide release.
