<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> This was an answer in the case your Zauras uses ALSA instead </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> of OSS. I </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> should have been more clear here ;-)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I am not sure which sound layer is being used... I have ask Sharp that question.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> > Do you know where can a pre-built version of alsa be found </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> for the Zaurus?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Sorry, no. But if you do not have ALSA on the Zaurus then you do not </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> need it. VLC 0.5.3 only uses OSS.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> What is the files name and its location?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> VLC requires the specific version 2.1.3. If you have another version </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> then try: ln -s /lib/librt-<yourversion>.so /lib/librt-2.1.3.so</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>there are two files in /usr/lib/vlc</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>librt-2.1.3.so</FONT>
