Re: [SOLVED]Audacious hangs when playing anything but mp3's

I'm sorry, I couldn't reproduce your problem. I just installed Audacious and tried it out. I installed the package "audacious", including all dependencies. I played OGG and FLAC files without a problem. As for settings, for output I am using "ALSA Gapless Output Plugin", which is right, because as for sound daemons I only have ALSA installed. I am using GNOME on Arch 64.

If you try it by running Audacious from a terminal window, do you see any error messages?

I am using OSS plugin and arch64 and xfce as DE, when starting audacious from the terminal it shows the following

an audacious-plugins update solved it.
