When I load the configuration on
20
30 alpha
I have sound on my machine.
So do you know how heavy is to have to test on 5 different OSes with several
versions of linuxes?
We have a test-farm (and we could do much better) but I requested an engineer
to work on the package
certifications to put in place the infrastructure we need but it was rejected.
So no money and
I do not have a money making machine.

We know. Do you think that the SmallLint meta data handling was done by
accident?
Or the massive work on the integration server? Or the catalog we are working on.
No this is the vision we have: read the Pharo vision pdf.
Now no money means less work done.

I think that same.

We are working on that. But we have too many customers and not enough people
helping.

We know. We share 100% this point of view.

Indeed. I think that the same but nothing is that easy.
If you want to help open a bug entry with the problem and tag it under VM.
And we will see. Now if linux people do not use sound and do not tell us we
cannot know.
By the way there is no test in the SoundPackage so how can we are them on the
headless server (because
the headless farm server may also have a sound disabled….)
So you see the devil is in the detail.
