[gcompris-devel] sound

[pgeorges]

Maybe this is because you try to run boards with no translated sounds 
avalaible (sounds are mandatory for some boards). With current CVS, can 
you tell me if you hear the "Tchouuuuuuuu" sound in the railroad board ?
This sound is played when the train starts. If you don't hear the sound, 
do you get some error messages from the console ?
