Ticket #1222 (Closed: fixed)

and even hangs on the last test

I'm suspecting that access to the ALSA devices was not set up correclty on your system. to access ALSA devices, you have to have read/write permissions for /dev/snd/* files. I've modified your system that if you're a member of the audio group, you'll have these rights. to check if you see any audio devices, run: aplay -l on your system, I get: $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Snapper [PowerMac?
