Hi Bill, thanks for your reply. I have already investigated further, being curious, and discovered that this is not only a problem with the Arch package, but also buoilding it from source and thus posted another bugreport to the Linux-Audio-Users' list, of which Fons (the author of Aeolus) is a member. Hopefully this might introduce a fix in the code. Best wishes and many thanks, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c * Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeanette_c_s * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c You should take me as I am 'Cause I can promise you Baby, what you see is what ytou get <3 (Britney Spears)
