Excellent news, gauret!!

Jut to let you know, I'm in the process of installing Glest from Extras, very excited! Though currently waiting for a SSSLLLOOOWWW mirror to finish sending the glest-data package :D

Kudos!

Great, please let me know if something goes wrong by filing a bug in http://bugzilla.redhat.com

Sure thing will do!! (actually I'm currently filing a bug on another program for FC6 [gnomebaker]). Should I encounter any problems with Glest, I'll let you know there!

The rpm install just great and it plays, but I have tried to disable arts and alsa to stop the choppy sound playback. I  gotta  athlon 64 3200+ with two gigs of ram, so I shouldn't be running out of cache or memory, Have you seen this?? It really stutters badly. Do far, you have done a very good job though!! Just this one annoying bug. Ric

Please consider posting in another thread...

Regarding your problem, this seems to be caused by SDL (mixer?) and probably ALSA suffering from buffer underruns (this is very characteristic of that). The way to fix this is dependant on your particular audio hardware, but you may want to browse the alsa wiki page  and look for the documentation on how to set this using the .asoundrc file, and then see if you can apply that for the file /etc/alsa/alsa.conf (alternatively run alsaconf if download and build the alsa-utils package from the alsa-project.org site). Depending on your hardware you may want to change the buffer size from the default 1024 to 4096

I've set the alsa settings to max bufferers and highest priority...  then I just killed off alsa and it still stutters. I'll try again as you suggest. Ric

Oh yeah, since I dnloaded this using yum to my FC6 machine, just where would I post the problem to? Ric

Since this program is already in Fedora's repos, post a bugzilla there ;)
