and why is no one willing to step up and get the pulse driver working in the Cog VM?
I'm assuming (but I do not know) that it is a problem in the old autotools build, since it is working in the CMake build.
Holger Hans Peter Freyther sent a set of patches to update it:
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2014-September/016489.htm...
The discussion was focused on FreeBSD, but the autotools build for Cog does not work on my newer Ubuntu system either, so I'm thinking that this should be of general interest for the Cog build process.
Maybe that takes care of the problem for sound too?

Hi Stéphane,
I am travelling, so I cannot post anything now. But I will send you a copy of the missing vm-sound modules as soon as I can.
I prefer not to post a compiled VM, because I think this should come from squeakvm.org/unix if possible. That said, I had not realized that we were missing some sound modules from the last official build, so we should make this available as a fix.
Are you able to compile programs on your own Linux box? It's really quite easy to make an interpreter VM nowadays, and I would be happy show you how to do this if you are willing to give it a try.

My apologies to Ubuntu, it seems that I neglected to install the
sound
development libraries on my Ubuntu laptop before compiling the VM.
That
done, sound works fine with the -vm-sound-pulse driver on Ubuntu.
Could you please make this binary available somewhere ?
Best,
Stef
