Hello all. I would like to thank the maintainer for providing
this forum for fvwm users. It is a great service, which oft
goes unheralded.

My question is this, I keep getting core dumps from FvwmAudio.
I have it set to use /bin/play, a program which came with
the commercial OSS/Linux Sound Drivers that I am using to
get sound. They are version 2.0.18 BETA. I have NO problems
using play from the command line, and the fvwm2rc that I use
was someone elses, and it was reported by the author to have
worked fine. I can cat files to /dev/dsp and /dev/audio.
I have tried both wav and au files. I have searched this
list via the Web based archive, and didn't find this addressed.
I use RedHat 4.0, and thus, installed fvwm2 and its addons via the
rpm utility. rpm --query gives me these the following version info:

fvwm2-2.0.43-1
fvwm2-utils-2.0.43-1
fvwm2-icons-2.0.43-1
fvwm2-modules-2.0.43-1

which are all the latest versions I could find. The redhat list
yielded no reports of such behaviour, so I am wondering if
it could be the commercial sound drivers I use?

I have read the FAQ, done a deja-news search, searched this lists
archive, searched redhat's list, and tried different sound players
and different sound formats. I DID everything I knew to do, and thus
have subscribed to this list in hopes that I missed something.

Thanks a lot for any input.
