Sound and geometry

[cindel]

Ok first off, I can only get sound to work when I use the -esd option.
I am using the oss drivers (not alsa) in the kernel, intel ICH i8xx driver.

Ok so thats fine use -esd and sound works, np. But now if I resize the client window. Sound stops, and never starts again. Ok, I was getting around this by using the -geometry option, but as of the other day this just stoped working.

My command line
cd eClient;./elaunch -esd -geometry 1272x943

Anyway here is the relevent sections of the log file.

I was perfectly happy with my -geometry work around, but it would be nice to beable to resize the client window without the sound stopping.

thx

Apparently the sound library doesnt like the re-init :-( I will looks at that....

As for the -geometry.... ALL options that take a parameter (And this hasnt changed since the linux client was released) are of the form -parmater=values... You are missing the = between the -geometry and the parameters.
