I ran into this problem at home. I can't get to that PC anytime soon, but I'll try my best at guessing as much detail as possible using another Gentoo box. 95% probability of correct info.
------------------ > a.) The versions and USE-Flags of audacious and audacious-plugins. audacious-1.4.5, dbus nls -chardet -libsamplerate audacious-plugins-1.4.4, aac alsa dbus flac mp3 musepack nls oss sdl sndfile sse2 timidity vorbis wavpack -adplug -arts -chardet -esd -gnome -jack -lirc -modplug -mtp -pulseaudio -sid -tta -wma > b.) "$ uname -msvr" Kernel built from gentoo-sources based on 2.6.2X. PREEMPT (everything). 32b, x86, AMD. > c.) Your CFLAGS. -O2 -pipe -march=athlon-xp -mmmx -msse -msse2 -msse3 -m3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer > d.) The audio output plugin you are using. ALSA. Using the default, in-kernel driver. The soundcard is some ATI IXP chipset-based onboard thing (listed as "ATI" in lspci as well IIRC). ------------------ Thank you for trying to solve this. Anyway, a-1.4 only brought problems to me and no apparent improvements. A messed-up audioscrobbler plugin, this volume setting issue, forming a playlist took a considerably longer amount of time compared to a-1.3, plus it playfully crashed from time to time. -rz -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
