[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#407308: gnustep-gui-runtime: The gnustep_sndd tool is not built; missing build-depends on portaudio19-dev

[Paddy Smith]

Thanks, I've managed to get a sndd built and get sound out of it.  I'm
finding that if I run it by the init script from the root user, the
desktop user doesn't find it and starts its own, and I'm still
battling with getting the various sound systems to play nicely
together.

There seems to be an option in GNUmail to play a sound when mail is
received, and IIRC from looking at the code it uses NSSound.  That
would, I imagine, be an example of non-trivial breakage, but I don't
use GNUmail and I'm having trouble actually getting it to make the
sound, even with a working sndd :-)

Regards,
Paddy
