Thanks for the hints, I did some more testing:
1) Running ``./dom3 -o'' without aoss does work (after a fashion): My machine has two soundcards, and it was outputting to the wrong (unconnected) one. I'll now try to figure out how to redirect OSS output to the correct card.
2) As for arts: artsd is definitely running and working fine. For example, here are a few lines of output from mplayer:
Code:
[AO ARTS] Connected to sound server.
[AO ARTS] Stream opened.
[AO ARTS] buffer size: 36864
[AO ARTS] buffer size: 2048
AO: [arts] 32000Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
Starting playback...
Only the client (dom3) crashes.
