Emacs has the ability to play sounds internally. See 'play-sound-internal' and 'play-sound'. I guess it's mostly useful for very short sounds like beeps and alerts, where it's good to minimize the delay before the playing begins. > And libICE and libSM? To be honest, I'm not sure what they are used for, but I noticed that the configure script looked for them, and the final emacs is linked with them. Mark
