[dundee] vsound?

[Dan Bolser]

Can anyone make vsound work?

I'm trying things like "vsound xmms" but it always fails with the message:

Missing file ./vsound6991.au.
This means that the libvsound wrapper did not work correctlty.
Here are some the possible reasons :
 - You are trying to record a stream (RTSP or PNM protocol) from
   the internet. You will need to use the --timing option.
 - The program you are trying to run is setuid. You will need to
   run vsound as root.
 - Vsound was not properly installed and hence won't work at all.

(where ./vsound6991.au is the file it should be writing audio data to).


I tried "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/vsound", but still no joy.

Perhaps sound has changed since 2004?
