sadly, I've just learnt that the bug is reproducible in sarge too. I was misled in my previous checks since the default logout sound in KDE 3.2 is in WAV format, which does not trigger the bug. OGG or MP3 is necessary.
moreover, I managed to reproduce the bug with arts 1.2.3, so having let 1.3.x into sarge has nothing to do with the status of the bug. aba, if you think that sarge-ignore is ok for it, then I have nothing more to say. it's nasty as hell, though, but there are many workarounds available and very specific conditions have to be met. cu, -- Adeodato Simó EM: asp16 [ykwim] alu.ua.es | PK: DA6AE621 Proper treatment will cure a cold in seven days, but left to itself, a cold will hang on for a week. -- Darrell Huff
