When I was upgrading on one of the machines, I did encounter this same error on a couple gnome-related ebuilds (I don't actually have either gnome or kde desktops installed - only fluxbox). I ended up upgrading XML-Parser, then did a revdep-rebuild, which told me to re-install gettext, dbus, and d

Amarok is feature-rich, but heavy indeed. I don't recommend it for a drop-in XMMS replacement. If you like the idea of editing mp3 tags and organzing your music really nicely, browsing it 3 different ways and seeing cover art from amazon.com and such, amarok is for you. Ha... yea, my use flag

What are some alternatives to Audacious mp3/CD player? I really liked the old XMMS and used it right up until it was taken off portage. Audacious seems to resemble XMMS closely enough, but it seems more fragile. I have it working well on one gentoo box, but on this box, I am just having no luck

Try to reduce the PCM channel to max. 80%. The higher I set PCM, the more scratchy the sound gets. Elias - I played around with the alsamixer quite a bit, but the noise is present even at the substantially lower levels. I wish it were as simple as that ;-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
