Could you please reinstall libasound2_1.0.12-1 and post the output of $ ls -al /usr/lib/libasound* Else start xmms or your favourite audioplayer from the commandline and monitor the output in $TERM while loading an audio-file. Post suspicious output. Elimar -- Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing;-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
