Hi Guys:
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.
Can you to share a step by step mini how to about to enable the sound in Etoys in this way?
Thanks in advance.
Pato Acevedo
P.D.:
I'm trying the last SOAS (Soas2-200904062216) and in both my desktop and the Classmate 2 when changing project Etoys I obtain a black screen for a fraction of a second . Am I the only one, or someone else reported this behavior? It is strange because the image is displayed first but then the screen goes to black, "wink" and then reappears the last screen that was flashing before. For example, in the Etoy´s splash screen I make click in the cloud called "Gallery of projects" can to see a thumbnails for all projects but immediately the screen go and return from black. When press the Previous project buttom is the same.

launch terminal activity type "su" to become root type "pico /usr/bin/etoys" to edit edit the line VMOPTIONS="-encoding UTF-8 -vm-display-x11 -xshm" to have the -vm-sound-OSS option: VMOPTIONS="-encoding UTF-8 -vm-display-x11 -xshm -vm-sound-OSS" press ctrl-x to exit, say Y to save
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's been reported multiple times because it indeed is rather annoying:

Thanks Caroline and Bert:
I tested the last SoaS-Beta and the sound from the speak activity is working perfectly, included the integration with the chat activity, but sadly the sound in Etoys not yet. I followed the Bert´s How to and I could achieve that Etoys make sounds.
launch terminal activity type "su" to become root type "pico /usr/bin/etoys" to edit edit the line VMOPTIONS="-encoding UTF-8 -vm-display-x11 -xshm" to have the -vm-sound-OSS option: VMOPTIONS="-encoding UTF-8 -vm-display-x11 -xshm -vm-sound-OSS" press ctrl-x to exit, say Y to save

AFAIK it only added the missing gst-speech plugin for Speak, no? Any other changes? Too bad there is no change log.
from Soas2-200904021455.iso soas has pulse installed by default, so sound should work in Etoys, could you test soas-2 last image from http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-beta.iso

I think it is, yes. But better ask on the Sugar list.

yeah ,, hmm .. would you know where is it? I thought it would be here
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/
but I cannot find it. No problem if not, I think I will assume it is Soas2- beta and try next weekend.
Thanks

Sugar is independent of OLPC now so you won't find it at the laptop.org site. The new organization is Sugar Labs:
See http://lists.sugarlabs.org/
The two main lists are sugar-devel and IAEP (where the latter focuses on the education aspects).
No problem if not, I think I will assume it is Soas2-beta and try next weekend.
I'm pretty sure it is. Even though Soas1 was more mature it is behind the bleeding edge of development so was abandoned.

Thanks again Bert. I knew but was not thinking. I am already subscribed on IAEP, so I will ask there.

I noticed the same on the april-6 soas2 version, but it was there before, for sura april 1 version . So far I do have no ideas why...

I am seeing this on the current Beta. So far E-Toys is the only applicaiton I've noticed this on.
The beta is F11 based so its on the SoaS2 family.

I speculate (after reading some slightly related bug report) it may be related to scaling when running on a platform that is not same resolution as OLPC...but not sure....
