| Can someone tell me how to get nautilus to start playing an audio file when i mouse over the icon? It used to do that and every time I reinstall gentoo it doesn't anymore and I can't remember how to get it to do it again. |

| I think you need ogg123 (media-sound/vorbis-tools) and/or mpg123. Also have a look at this topic. |

| Thanks for the reply. There is no such ogg123 package and mpg123 is already installed. I'll check out that thread you linked though and see if it helps. |

ogg123 is part of media-sound/vorbis-tools 
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/esound start |
(rc-update add esound default)
| Code: | | System --> Preferences --> Sound --> Sounds tab --> check "Enable software sound mixing" |
and it works. |

Ok, thanks. I do have that installed then.

All right, did that but havn't noticed any difference.

There is no such tab in my sound preferences. Do I need a certain USE flag or something?
Oh, and the gnome sounds don't work either so I guess I have a problem. I don't have the esd USE flag turned on so I am recompiling packages that use it right now. Maybe that will make a difference. In the mean time, does anyone know why an enlightenment sound daemon is required for gnome sound? I thought gnome got away from enlightenment a long time ago. |
