Pharo 5.0 - Cannot play sounds - soundStart: snd_add_pcm_handler: Function not implemented

Question

The platform is Ubuntu 16.04.

I'm executing FMSound organ1 play.

and receiving soundStart: snd_add_pcm_handler: Function not implemented

in the terminal window.

I've tried starting Pharo 5.0 using: pasuspender -- ./pharo ../shared/Pharo5.0.image but no luck.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I've got the same on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

SoundPlugin appears to be loaded in the system reporter.

SoundPlugin VMMaker.oscog-EstebanLorenzano.829 (i)

Looks like this isn't fixed yet.

Latest VM+Pharo6.0 also exhibit the problem.
