Re: [Bug-gnubg] libcanberra instead of QuickTime

[Christian Anthon]

Is HAVE_CANBERRA defined as 1 in config.h? If not, configure doesn't
find libcanberra. If it is, can you send me your modified sound.c. If
that looks right, I guess you have to setup libcanberra in some way,
libcanberra is mainly tested for linux.
