I just dist-upgraded from woody->testing tonight. After the upgrade, I tried to test things out to ensure nothing was broken, and when I got to testing sound, tried to play an ogg file with freeamp - which just didn't work right. I also could not get ogg123 to work, since it demanded libvorbisfile.so.0, and after the upgrade I only seem to have libvorbisfile.so.3. (Note: I couldn't guarantee ogg123 worked before the upgrade, since I never tried it as freeamp always worked so well).
A bit of looking around let me to conclude that freeamp is superceded by zinf in testing, so I tried: apt-get remove freeamp apt-get install zinf zinf works, in the sense of playing the files. However, when I open the equalizer and try the balance control to shift from centerline to playing only on the left or right speaker, only the left plays - and after using the balance control, there is no sound at all until I adjust the sound level control. I don't remember seeing this problem at all with freeamp, and I also note that sound is fine with KDE generated sounds (such as when you log in from kdm) - so the sound stuff seems to work ok (as it should, really, since I did not change the kernel or modules). Is this a zinf bug - or is something misconfigured? And, is ogg123 still supposed to work,and if so, why didn't it upgrade to understand the appropriate libraries that I have? (oh, btw, /usr/lib/libvorbisfile.so.3 is a symlink created tonight at the time I did the dist-upgrade, so I assume this is an upgraded version or a new file...)
