Hello,

I don't know what is exactly your problem.
If you want I have developed a FFI binding to VLC. (https://github.com/badetitou/Pharo-LibVLC) <https://github.com/badetitou/Pharo-LibVLC>
So you can play any kind of audio file (or stream) from pharo.

If you need help you can send me a direct message.

Cheers,
Benoît

    I'm using Pharo 8 stable (64bit) version.

    I pulled PharoSound from the Catalog and installed. Installed
    fine, no errors.

    I went to the comments on the abstract class.  Copied the examples
    to the Playground, ran them - worked fine (although I don't know
    how to stop the dang PluckedString example!!)... I digress  :)

    I created my own subclass to play specific sounds at certain
    events in my application.  Worked well.  A day later - I have no
    sound in my image at all now.  Nothing works.  I reinstalled from
    the Catalog. Ran the code listed in the AbstractSound comments -
    nothing.

    I installed a new Pharo 8 stable 64-bit image - pulled PharoSound
    in, copied the sampe code from AbstractSound comments... and it
    worked just fine.

    Any ideas how I can get sound to work again on my original image? 
    For me, it is a real pain to try and migrate all my code over to a
    new image.  It is apparently a character flaw on my part, but it
    takes me hours to get Git/Iceberg working properly on a new image.
    (yes, I'm ashamed).  I see a new book on the topic, but I had been
    following that book while it was wip, and Git/Iceberg just whips
    my butt.  But if going to a new image is the solution, I'll try,
    try again.

    What do you think?


Sorry I don't the answer Russ, but just to piggy-back your query...
@all, is sound something that we should now be starting to do via FFI rather than existing plugins? [but pls prioritize Russ's question]
cheers -ben
