I tried that (I remove the line in the autoexec file), I launch X with AS,
and I get no sound.
Then I launch Audio with the Start/Modules menu item, but still no sound.
Why would this method help tracking the error, since we can't see any error
log ?

Anyway, in order to help you to help me, this is what I get with the
traditional autoexec method.

(I'M SORRY TO SEND SUCH A LONG MAIL. BEAT ME, KILL ME, BUT BEFORE, PLEASE,
HELP ME :-) )

First, here is one of the error I see when quiting X and returning in text
mode :

Playing audio on localhost.localdomain using /dev/audio, one moment
please...
cat: /root/GNUstep/Library/Afterstep/desktop/sounds/beep.au: No such file or
directory


Then, here's my audio file :
                -----

#------------------------------------------------------------------------

*AudioPath                      ~/GNUstep/Library/Afterstep/desktop/sounds

*AudioPlayCmd                   /usr/bin/showaudio
*AudioDelay                     1

*Audio  configure_window        huh.au
*Audio  window_name             bong.au

*Audio  res_name                beep.au
*Audio  end_windowlist          twang.au

Then here is my autoexec file :
                  ---------

EndFunction

and finally, here is my base.24bpp file, since I run X in this mode :

You may ask why I put 2 lines looking the same : I don't know if the usual
'*'
that begins the command lines is to be put even in the base* files.

You think I'm crazy ?
No, just determined !

Thank you for helping, AS keeps the best anyway !
