Comment 2 for bug 240337

Things that don't work (that is, they cannot be used).

firefox
seamonkey 2.0 pre A
sol
gnomine
GNU Chess

Thing that locks the desktop so badly that CTRL-ALT-Backspace is needed

GNUSound

Things that can be used

Thunderbird
OpenOffice
Any of the qt stuff I have loaded (e.g. qgo, kstars, scribus)
An old build of seamonkey I keep in case the nightly doesn't work (the last pre-XUL build)

In the latter case, I get no sound out of the mplayer plug-in.

In fact, I don't appear to have any sound out of anything.

I got to 8.0.4 by upgrading a release at a time from 6.06, and accepting all updates when they became available.
