Summary: aRts 1.3.2 crashing

Initial Comment:
At least on some systems, and at least with  
aRts 1.3.2, aRts crashes as soon as the game 
screen starts (probably more exactly, as soon as 
taxipilot tries to play the first sound?), if sound is 
enabled.

Ok.  I did try the make clean, make.  Here is the output from 
artsd -l0... (I've omitted some of the first output because it is 
basically repeating the lines from 'result 10' to 'Done' for each 
sound file.  I can post or attach the entire thing if you need.

Hope that helps a bit.  Thanks.

Yes, that is to be expected. The "Error reading sound   
file" is actually misleading in this context. Taxipilot   
checks whether the sound-server is running alright   
on startup, but it does not expect the sound-server to   
crash sometime in between. Rather whenever trying   
to create a new "Playobject" in the sound-server,   
taxipilot finds out that something went wrong. That's   
why you will get an "Error reading sound file" for every   
single sound, though the problem is simply the   
soundserver has crashed.   
I must admit, regarding this bug, I'm even a little   
more helpless than about the crash you reported.   
Programming aRts has always - at least partially -   
remained a mystery to me.   
Ok, one hopeful guess: Earlier you reported no   
obvious problems during compile/link-stage. Just to 
be extra sure, could you cd to EXT_wavpo, and do a   
make clean; make   
there? 
Also, could you start artsd manually in a console, 
maybe with a higher debug-level, e.g.: 
artsd -l 1 
or even 
artsd -l 0 
Maybe aRts gives some helpful information, before it 
dies. 

Thanks!

Here's some debug output from the program itself.  It shows 
several sound related errors.  Just for reference, I did navigate 
to the path in the error and used the artsplay command to test 
the sounds with my aRts install.  They played fine.
