Lost sound in Freevo after "pacman - Syu"

Hi!

I've been using freevo all day but after doing a "pacman -Syu" I've lost the sound. No files will play and just skips to the next. The terminal output from freevo is this:

failed to load plugin alsamixer2
start 'freevo plugins -l' to get a list of plugins
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/build/community/multimedia/freevo/pkg/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/plugin.py", line 555, in __load_plugin__
    exec('import %s' % module)
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/build/community/multimedia/freevo/pkg/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/plugins/alsamixer2.py", line 35, in <module>
ImportError: No module named alsaaudio

I checked the pacman log and the files that got updated was:

[2008-07-18 16:35] synchronizing package lists
[2008-07-18 16:35] starting full system upgrade

[2008-07-18 17:32] starting full system upgrade

Does anyone know what's happened to the alsamixer2 plugin here? Did the upgrade of python-pysqlite do this? Looks like something happened when I did the last update...

only one way to find out which pkg was the culprit. Downgrade all the pkg's that updated and when u have the sound working again you will know what pkg is culprit.

pacman -U
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/

Re: Lost sound in Freevo after "pacman - Syu"

I'm really not sure how to downgrade...

Where do I get the old version of the files? Like python-pysqlite-2.3.5-1...

Thanks for the help!

Nvm, I found them in the cache.

No I didn't I can't find the old versions. At least not python-pysqlite-2.3.5-1.

Solved it with some makepkg.
