Tomasz, Thanx for the link of the TED talk which I'm downloading atm (don't have and don't wanna have flash files so downloading the .mp4 file) and from what little I have seen it would be fun (going to make chai in a while and then see the video) . I just bugged upstream about it and it would be interesting to see what they state one way or the other. https://bugs.launchpad.net/stellarium/+bug/1060314 Thank you for your time and effort and thanx again for adding the sound-support even though we can't use it for much atm. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
