Thanks! That fixed it for me as well.
FYI, works if you set sound to ESD too.

Ok so it looks like a problem with arts... like arts server not running...
I was able to work around the problem by setting gaim to use 'play %s' to play sounds instead of using arts...so I'm happy again...
Would like to know: A) whats going on with artsd... B) why gaim crashes when it can't use arts and is set to automatically choose method to play audio...
