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...

Well there is no ESD daemon running on my system for some reason (Using latest gnome packages from devel) so ESD is not an option and esdplay produces no sound...
Thank god for the 'play' command ;-)
BTW I'm glad im not the only one who is affected by the artsd thing.
Cheers,
