From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: By default, the Esound-Plugin is chosen for output, but there's no Esound Daemon running when you normally install the desktop-version and start your desktop. So, as Newbie-User you won't know why there's no sound playing at all... So either you should configure Esound to start with X or you should choose OSS as default output plugin for XMMS... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start XMMS 2.Try to play a music file 3.you will hear no sound Actual Results: No sound was hearable Expected Results: There should be sound:-) Additional info:
esound-using apps start ESD by default if necessary, so this shouldn't be a problem. Please try a later release, and reopen if it persists. (and apologies for the abysmal response here.)
