.wav files in audacious

[tasso]

Hello,

I run slackware 12.1 and audacious wont add .wav files to the playlist. This means it just wont play them. Why is that? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

I did some searching in Google for "wav files audacious" and it looks like you're not the only one having this problem. It seems to be a bug in that particular version of the program.

Hum, still, that doesnt let me know what is the problem and how to solve it. And the problem seems to be there in 12.2 too. I use slapt-get to install the software.

Ok I had already done the research and it said to compile audacious with the plugins. But I didnt find the source files, neither the slackware build files. And even if audacious was compiled, how do I run it, and how can I add an icon in the gnome desktop Sound & Video menu? I'm kinda new to slackware. The how to.txt said it would be not bad. I think that it meant that the people helping are good.

I went on and found xmms source and build files. I have the package. I installed it with installpkg. How do I run xmms now? Where is the program that executes the software located? How can I make a shortcut of it?

Lets just hope that xmms has the .wav plugin enabled....

Depending on what version of Gnome you're running, you should have an application in your System menu called "Main Menu" or "Alacarte Menu Editor." This allows you to add/remove/edit entries in the Gnome menu system.

As for the desktop, you should be able to right-click and add a new launcher. Audacious is probably located in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.

The xmms executable is probably in the same place as audacious. You should be able to launch it just from a console or with the ALT+F2 launch menu.

I think this is what I was looking for. /usr/bin has the file I need to add as an application launcher. Thanks man.
