and I get the error message.

Hmm... if I use "/dev/adsp" instead of "dsp" in "Preferences", it claims to be running, but there is no sound. (Actually, I succeeded getting sound this way once, but I don't know how to reproduce it - some intermittent thing with the sound server.)

If I write "aoss gtick" in a terminal, it works fine. Yay, thanks! :-)

I don't consider this a satisfactory solution to the bug, though - gtick should be able to handle this by itself, or it should wrapped somehow. Installed programs should be able to be run from the GU by default.

Since there is a workaround, this may affect the priority of the bug, though. But I wouldn't consider it fixed.
