xchat cannot play .ogg files?

English Applications
#1

Anyone else getting this? It’s very strange that it can play .wav files but not .ogg.

This is a clean install of 11.2 64bit as of yesterday, all other sound works well.

When it tries to play a .ogg it sounds like raw data is being catted to /dev/audio or something, quite awful.

Sure codecs are there, i.e. ogg-theora IIRC ?

Dunno, but I just installed ogm-tools and theora-tools (or something like that) which switched me automatically to the pm version of libtheora, so I’ll see how that goes.

Thanks.

No, that didn’t fix it, it still plays data.
