I just updated to 'r3425' and got this error when trying to annotate a game with any engine. Not sure what revision I was on before, it was r34something. Here is the log of the error:

Could not open default for write.
Could not open default for write.
while executing
"$sound play -blocking 0 -command "incr ::utils:🔉:isPlayingSound -1""
(procedure "::utils:🔉:PlaySoundQueue" line 9)
invoked from within
"::utils:🔉:PlaySoundQueue"
("after" script)

I have my sound files in /usr/share/scid/sounds and I tried to just chmod -R 777 to that directory but it still gives that error.  I'm not sure what this 'default' is that it can't open for write with regard to sounds.  If I just disable the sounds this problem goes away so it's not a really big deal, but I do like the sounds and they did work before.

    Sorry, this is resolved now. I changed my sound device from default to plughw:1 and it works now. I'm now suspecting this problem had more to do with a pacman update than an update of this.
