Does vsound work on ubuntu dapper amd64 and/or i386_chroot?

Hi,

It doesn't matter what architekture (amd64 or i86_cxhroot), and what 
program or mediastream/-file I use, i got this (also with sudo):

$ vsound -d -t -f jazzradio.wav mplayer jazzradio.wma
[...]
Missing file ./vsound16206.au.
This means that the libvsound wrapper did not work correctlty.
Here are some the possible reasons :
 - You are trying to record a stream (RTSP or PNM protocol) from
   the internet. You will need to use the --timing option.
 - The program you are trying to run is setuid. You will need to
   run vsound as root.
 - Vsound was not properly installed and hence won't work at all.


I use alsa, and artsd is working, too (using alsa).

Kind regards
