The new salix 15 has, at least in my system, a problem with audacious:
Code: Select all
$ audacious 03_La_valse_d_Amelie.mp3
audacious: runtime.cc:92: MainloopType aud_get_mainloop_type(): Assertion `mainloop_type_set' failed.
Aborted

Hi, Van_Vinkle,
I've been using audacious to play .mp3 files on my Salix 15.0 installation, and it works fine.
Please check that you have these packages installed on your system:
[I installed that last package because I regularly listen to a couple of online radio stations which stream using that format. AAC is designed to be the successor of the MP3 format.]
(I'm assuming that you have already run Salix's "Install multimedia codecs" script).
Hopefully this will resolve your issue.

I will be surprised if @gaucho 's suggestions won't solve the problem.
By the way, you picked great music to test Audacious, @Van_Vinkle

The first package was installed. The audacious-aac was not, but now it is. Install multimedia codecs script was also ran.
Anyway:
Code: Select all
$ audacious suzanne_vega-toms_diner.mp3
audacious: runtime.cc:92: MainloopType aud_get_mainloop_type(): Assertion `mainloop_type_set' failed.

The problem has been solved, despite audacious does not run well. I'll explain it.
I've remembered the philosophy of salix "one application per task". I realized that exaile was in my system and going well, and this program does (for my needs) the same function as audacious. Then I will forget it and will use exaile onwards.
Thanks for your attention.
