The environment is not the same, that's likely to be related. But I use 'at' for an alarm clock, so if I get busy my system plays a nice reminder to get me moving, and that works just fine. So it's peculiar to your system, or environment. And if you use alsa without pulse you are definitely exploring some lightly checked interactions. -- Bill Davidsen <david...@tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
