It did stop working for a while but it started working in the later part of version 1 and has worked in Seamonkey 2 from the start. I did read some of the thread on -dev about this. I think there was only a couple packages that uses esound and I don't recall Seamonkey being one of them. Are you sure it needs esound? It doesn't show up here as a option. I'm on amd64 on my main rig and x86 on my back up. It doesn't show esound anywhere on either of them. [ebuild R ] www-client/seamonkey-2.4.1-r1 USE="alsa chatzilla dbus ipc libnotify methodjit roaming startup-notification webm -crypt -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -debug -system-sqlite -wifi" I do have alsa enabled tho. Would that work for you too? Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! Miss the compile output?
