Now, please go back and read Alans first post in the thread. It absolutely did not sound, as if he even wanted to help. > If you want help then it's YOUR responsibility to provide as much > information as possible. Well, no, not as possible, but rather "as required". And that's been done. > Help people to help you, and make it easy > for them to do so. Yes. That's been done. Once more: The problem was, because rhythmbox of Gnome 2.20 is missing an (indirect) dependency on gst-plugins-alsa. That's fixed in 2.22. > I, too, know what it's like to receive a reply to one of my questions > which I find to be unhelpful and aggravating. However, "two wrongs > don't make a right" and no-one benefits from an angry response. Oh, so it's now my fault for responding to a flamebait? Nice. It's not the aggressor who's doing something wrong? Michael -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
