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.
On my OLPC with SoS 2009-apr-1 sound does not work from Terminal activity either. I will redo it from the latest avaiable iso and see if that helps.
SoaS is not really meant to be run on the XO yet. It uses a stock Fedora kernel which does not fully support the XO hardware yet.
ah, interesting . I am running Soas2 on XO but it has problems. No sound, Browser crashing, no wget. And I just killed this long weekend so far by converting ISO (including Soas2) into a bootable SD that can run on XO or otherwise. I ported the Fedora usility to SuSE so I can run it home on SuSE, at least I have a way of generating Live Soas2 USB's as quickly as the Soas es are published.

It works better on regular PC hardware and in emulators.
I guess :) but my attempt to get it work in VirtualBox failed, hanging on startup no matter what I do. I will have to try again. That's where my excursion into Live USB/SD started. But it was fun.
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.
yeah, I just thought that if anything would have sound it would be Speak activity but it did not.
Speak does no sound because a library is missing. Too bad these things only get mentioned on IRC rather than the Sugar-dev mailing list :(
ah I see. I thought I tried play asound as well. I decided to wait for updated Soases before trying sound again :)
Thanks, Milan
