I do not know which CVS first exhibited this problem, but it first showed up when I recompiled XEmacs 21.5.28b after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.1. The newest changelog in the tree is dated 2007-12-21, but version.sh is no longer being updated in CVS. I have included installation info at the end of this message. I can no longer get XEmacs to play sounds through my (working) Enlighten Sound Daemon (v 2.38). I have verified that ESD is working on the system (launched at startup and plays through 127.0.0.1:16001). I verified this by playing /usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/sounds/boing.wav with esdplay; I also verified that sound-extension-list is ".wav" and that load-default-sounds reports "Loading sounds..." and "Loading sounds...done". However, no sounds play in XEmacs other than the system beep. And device-sound-enabled-p returns nil. nm xemacs shows 00156710 T _Fdevice_sound_enabled_p 00156a2c T _Fplay_sound 0015726c T _Fplay_sound_file 00156734 T _Fwait_for_sounds 00757b54 S _Q_sound 00754e14 S _Qshow_sounds 00756c70 S _Qsound 00757b5c S _Qsound_error 00201934 d _SFdevice_sound_enabled_p 002018d4 d _SFplay_sound 002018bc d _SFplay_sound_file 00201904 d _SFwait_for_sounds 00757b60 S _Vnative_sound_only_on_console 00757b64 S _Vsound_alist 00757b68 S _Vsynchronous_sounds 00070b18 T _esd_play_sound_data 00070af4 T _esd_play_sound_file 0015677c T _init_device_sound 001574fc T _report_sound_error 00156944 T _syms_of_sound 00156780 T _vars_of_sound which indicates that XEmacs is including the esd-specific functions. One thing I wonder about is that Apple changed its designations for X servers to be the form /tmp/launch-6randomchars/:0 from the older 0:0 format. I only mention this because some software has been reported to have problems with this change. What additional information could I supply to help track this down?
