Dear Pete!
I have also had a hard time configuring FvwmEvent,
chiefly because of the bad or missing documentation of
rplay/rplayd and FvwmEvent.
But by doing this you will get some sounds:
1)
Copy some .au files onto your harddisk, e.g:
# ls /usr/local/share/sounds/fvwm
clong.au gong.au pook.au slide.au wipe.au
2)
change into this very same directory and start rplayd
as user root:
# cd /usr/local/share/sounds/fvwm
# rplayd
3)
open another xterm and test with rplay:
# rplay clong.au
Now you should hear some sound.
4)
Edit your .fvwm2rc:
add some lines for starting FvwmEvent,
*FvwmEvent: Cmd builtin-rplay
*FvwmEvent: StartDelay 3
*FvwmEvent: iconify wipe.au
*FvwmEvent: deiconify slide.au
*FvwmEvent: add_window pook.au
*FvwmEvent: destroy_window clong.au
Restart fvwm2.
Now you should hear some sounds when
a window is opened or closed.
What I don't like about this are two things:
1) Since I start FvwmEvent fvwm2 takes a break of
about 15 seconds when it is (re)started.
During this time I can do nothing but wait.
2) rplay gives me haedache.
How is one supposed to specify the paths
where rplay finds the sound files?
Rplay plays the sound over the network, this is good.
Nevertheless it seems that rplayd needs access
to the soundfiles, this is very bad. Because one has
to install the sound files on the server side.
Yours, Johannes Gajdosik
