Can Linux users do a quick test for me please.

Download the zip archive below and extract the two files to a folder on your PC, then open a terminal at that location (in KDE, open up Konqueror, navigate to the folder, then right-click and select Actions > Open Terminal Here). Once in the terminal,execute the following command:

cat holly.wav|./main.o

If it works, there should be a slight pause and then some cheesy music.

If not, please let me know what error you get. If you get a "Permission Denied" message, try executing the following then retry the line above:

chmod +x main.o

It didn't work at first (arts_init error: can't connect to aRts soundserver), since I didn't have arts running.
I'm using esd, it was the one set by default with gnome on fedora 3.

arts_init error: loading the aRts backend "/usr/lib/libartscbackend.la" failed

I'm using ALSA by default I believe...
