Version: (using KDE 3.1.9) Compiler: gcc version 3.2 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.19 One of my TODOs for 3.2 is to convert all shipped KDE sounds to Ogg, but KNotify/artsplay do not seem to play Ogg files (or mp3 files, but that's nothing I worry about) despite that artsplay appears to be linked to libvorbis and libogg.
Ok can reproduce on cvs-head too. Problem looks like artsplay try to use audiofile library to play all files but audiofile can only handle wavs.
That was happening to me also but it is not a arts problem (i think) I think you have to install at least kdemultimedia/mpeglib_artsplug/ (don't know because i always compile and install kdemultimedia as a block).

Well, I have a TODO outstanding for a long while to convert all shipped sounds to .ogg from .wav, so this has to work with a libs/base only setup or else it's pointless doing so. Rob
okay, so mpeglib_artsplug needs to become part of arts or kdelibs.... or are there other depandencies that wouldn't tolerate such a move?
The problem was that the play(filename) interface in SimpleSoundserver could only play Wav files. I've fixed this now.
If you just need someone to convert the files now, I can do it
It involves a bit more than converting just sounds, some eventsrc settings will have to be updated as well. However, KNotify sounds are once again broken on my system (even .wav's now) so I can't properly test before committing changes.
Rob, take a look at yours knotifyrc, and check if the session StartProgress is like this: Arts Init=true KNotify Init=true Use Arts=true By the way, I'm using 3.2.2 and the Kopete sound's are not working yet...
