It turns out that there is already a bug report for this (I had assumed it was a problem with my configuration--not a bug). XEmacs is trying to access the Network Audio System. The workaround is to create the /tmp/.sockets/audio0 file, as several people suggested, or to install the 'nas' package. Thanks, Kris
