stick. No sound .using either -vm-sound-OSS or vm-sound-ALSA in /usr/ bin/etoys. This seems problem with Sugar, not Etoys. The driver is loaded yet I do not hear any sound in any Sugar activities. http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-214
I tried SoaS-beta in VirtualBox on a Mac (it still does not boot in VMWare Fusion). Had to add a sound adapter when making the VM, it was not added by default.
There was no sound in Speak, nor in Etoys.
BUT: In the Terminal activity, "aplay /usr/share/sound/alsa/ Front_Center.wav" did play fine, so sound *is* working. The same command did *not* work on a Linux VT console, neither as root nor as liveuser.
The Etoys log file had the known "soundStart: snd_add_pcm_handler: Function not implemented" message. So I added the -vm-sound-OSS workaround to /usr/bin/etoys and then sound in Etoys played fine.
No idea about Speak though, there was no error in its log file.
