Maybe you don't want something accessing your soundcard directly since it then might be unavailable when you need it. This is only on when there is no soundplayer (e.g., aplay, ossplay, esdplay...) found by gajim. Whenever you have one of them, my patch won't be executed. > > -- > Jonathan > > -- Zhihao Yuan The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Fallback to OSS when no soundplayer found

Hi, Maybe for a Linux user, aplay is always available; but for many FreeBSD users like me, we don't have any soundplay (even ossplay) installed by default. Our own oss implementation is much better than 4Front's, and we don't use esound or arts. This patch make use of wave and ossaudiodev which where built into python, and it deal with little endian wav sound. -- Zhihao Yuan The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
