Re: xarchon trouble

[Ronen Tzur <rtzur@shani.net>]

Hi.  This is weird, because no sound code has changed in quite
a while.  So it seems to me like the error might be in libaudiofile.
Is this a possiblity?  Have you maybe upgraded to a newer libaudiofile,
that possibly has a bug?

(I wonder if anybody else got this problem?)
