The problem is simple enough; one I've traditionally solved by compiling
XMMS from source & then installing. But I want to find the reason why I
can't solve it when I install XMMS from the Debian package(s).
I have the QSound plugin for XMMS, named libiq_xmms.so. Normally, it's
installed in $XMMS/Plugins/Effect/. The Debian installation uses
/usr/lib/xmms/Effect for the path to the effect plugins, and is where
the effect plugins included in the Debian package are located. I copied
the QSound plugin to /usr/lib/xmms/Effect, set the permissions to a+rx,
ran XMMS, and went to the preferences to configure it.
The QSound plugin was not available; only the three other plugins
installed to /usr/lib/xmms/Effect.
I've also tried copying the plugin to $HOME/.xmms/Plugins/Effect, but
had no success there, either.
I know I can easily solve this by compiling XMMS from source &
installing, then copying the plugin to the newly compiled XMMS'
plugn/Effect directory. I would prefer to stick to using Debian
packages wherever possible, as it's a bit easier to maintain a 'clean'
computer this way.
Thanks for any help you have...
