Thanks, I've managed to get a sndd built and get sound out of it. I'm finding that if I run it by the init script from the root user, the desktop user doesn't find it and starts its own, and I'm still battling with getting the various sound systems to play nicely together.
There seems to be an option in GNUmail to play a sound when mail is received, and IIRC from looking at the code it uses NSSound. That would, I imagine, be an example of non-trivial breakage, but I don't use GNUmail and I'm having trouble actually getting it to make the sound, even with a working sndd :-) Regards, Paddy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
