This Emacs runs on an i810 (audio etcetera) chipset. This (Debian) Emacs 21.3 refuses to play a 'wav' file. Stubborn!? play-sound-file file.wav gives 'Could not set sound format' But (for example) Welcome to the Emacs shell ~ $ play file.wav works Why!? Does Emacs handle sound by its own, bypassing the OS? Thanks Gijs -- Cat, n.: Lapwarmer with built-in buzzer.
