Ah, ok, I'll try that, though I thought I tried XMMS (which works fine) 
already before playing with "System Sounds". Do you have a kernel patch for 
the /dev/dsp bug? Or some deeper insight on the problem? I can do the patch 
then.
I'm not really using the system sounds here, but sound was the only area 
that still needed patches in KDE-1.1.2, and I wanted to assure these 
problems (read wav-files on big-endian machines and unconditional use of 
GET_OSPACE) are fixed in KDE2.

Well, I dunno what's nightmarish about LinuxPPC, it works fine for the 
stuff I use, but actually my system is running a mixture of YDL, LinuxPPC, 
RR1.2pre and self-compiled stuff. But I admit that I'm mostly using 
lower-level stuff, as I maintain binutils/gcc/glibc for the distributions.

Franz.
