Thanks for the help.

As far as I can see the guide to setting it up is simply to copy the pulse
audio plugin from Squeak into the Pharo folder.

I have tried this and SoundPlayer boinkScale now actually works! This is
further than I've ever got so many thanks.

However, FMSound organ1 play does not work. Nor does the SoundDemoMorph.

But I'm not really worried. I'm only playing about. 

But it does worry me that we have a PharoSound in the configuration browser
that does not play sound. I think that if Pharo wants to attract developers
it is important not to have anything that does not work in the approved list
of add-ons.

The thing that put me off Squeak forever was that it came with hundreds of
widgets and examples -  toys, and little apps - and many did not work and
many more worked really badly. This is not a good impression to give if you
want market share.

Pharo actually looks drop-dead gorgeous. It's a stunning piece of software -
do not ruin the effect by having something that doesn't work so near at hand
and so tempting to install. 

A further point, if Pharo needs the pulse audio plugin to play sound, why is
it not in the Pharo Linux package? Having to copy stuff from another product
is really lame.
