I got the same problem here with CVS, seems that "Automatic" means OSS,
either that or it gets stuck while trying to detect what driver to use
because something else has the audio device.  Setting the sound option
to run whatever command to play for whatever sound daemon you have works
though - so I just run esdplay %s

You can also put the line:

default_driver=3Desd

in ~/.libao -- use default_driver=3Darts if you want arts, instead.

Gaim cvs now requires libao and libaudiofile, and their header files. If
you don't get sound, run gaim -d and look for the line that says what
output driver you are using. If that doesn't match what it should be,
create a file called ~/.libao, and put "default-driver=esd" in the file.
Substitute esd with arts or alsa if that's what you are using.

Hi,
I'm using gaim cvs on Windows 2000 and have the same problem.  I've been
looking for a line that says which driver is used as said below, but can't
seem to find it. There probably should be some other mechanism for Windows.
Any hints ??
