I believe my report was clear enough :-( I don't use this laptop for music - the sounds I play are all of this type, short blurbs. Alerts for instant messaging, alerts when my opponent moves in the chess game, etc. etc. Do you think it is not a problem when these get cut off? I think the files in /usr/share/sounds/alsa were meant for accessibility - audible feedback for people who don't get a full visual one. Still not a problem? -- His stride expressed the man's pride and self-confidence and his eyes revealed his honest simplicity.
