Okay, this whole GNOME2 crap has _GOT_ to stop. I'm really starting to get pissed off. I'll probably end up pinning my distro to testing if this goes on much longer. It's bad enough that the new sawfish binaries don't read my old configuration info for viewport/workspace information. But they

Did you say you used lame to encode the file? If so, try using oggenc instead (comes in the same package as ogg123). I've never had a problem with that before. I've got some vorbis files that I can point you to, but you'll have to wait until I get home from work. ;) -

One thing I noticed, which is probably just an artifact of word-wrapping on your mailer, but make sure that there's no newline in your "deb ..." lines. I'd be surprised if this didn't break stuff. Secondly, it looks like you're snagging all of the official debian stuff just fine. The problem
