[gentoo-user] audacious converts mp3 to wav by default

[Pawel K]

Hello

I've emerged audacious and audacious-plugins:

# equery list audacious     
* installed packages
[I--] [  ] media-plugins/audacious-plugins-1.2.2-r1
(0)
[I--] [  ] media-sound/audacious-1.2.2 (0)

Use flag for audacious looks like (only positive flags
are shown below):

# equery  uses audacious-plugins
U I
+ + alsa
+ + mp3
+ + vorbis

When I press the "play" button on mp3 file it does not
play it but converts it to wav file.

My $HOME/.audacious/Plugins/ directory is empty.

Do you have any idea what can be wrong with my
configuration ?

thanks for help

I think you may need to select the ALSA output plugin for audacious.
Right click on audacious, near the top/title, and go to preferences,
then click on "Audio", then set "Current output plugin" to the ALSA
one.  That should do the trick.
