[CSCMail-Users] Sound problems (misposted)

[Ben B. <be...@oc...>]

Whoops!!!

Looks like I got the cart before the horse a little.  I hit send on this
email yesterday when I left the office and didn't wait to see if it
posted ok before I sent the follow up today.  I apologize for any
confusion.

 Subject: Sound problems

I recently installed CSCMail 1.6.1  at work and I really like it.  I'm
having a couple of sound problems though.  I have configured it to
play
(Sound Command: play) a wav file when I have new mail, but it plays
the
sound every time it checks mail whether there is new mail or not. 
Actually I have three accounts set up ("Work", "Old", "New")  when I
click "Send & Recieve" it starts to check the Work account first and
immediately plays the wav. (The following error is also displayed on
SDTOUT "Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default.")  When it is
done
checking the Work account it switches to the "Old" account and plays
the
wav again.  After checking that account it checks the "New" account
without playing the wav.  I believe it goes through the same process
whenever it automatically checks for new mail, because STDOUT has the
same error, and I hear the sound twice, new mail or no.  Any idea why
this might be happening?

The other problem I'm having is that when CSCMail checks mail
(automatic
or manually) while I am listening to any non-cd audio with XMMS cscget
hangs.	I get the same error as above on STDOUT, and the transfering
E-Mail dialog comes up, but it doesn't do anything.  From that point I
have to kill cscget and delete ~/.cscmail/cscget.running in order to
check my mail again.  Is this a problem with CSCMail?  It seems like
cscget should skip playing a sound if there is no sound device
available
and continue checking mail.

Thanks in advance.
