[Xastir] audio alarms

[Massimo Corinaldesi]

In mandrake noatun resides into /usr/bin and (previously) played correctly all 
the Xastir alarms. A strange thing for me is no errors messages arose from 
nowhere: nor from Xastir and nor from kde. Nor the player starts at all.
Following your hint, I downloaded wavplay a commandline player/recorder but, 
one more time, nothing happens.
I'm starting to think something changed into Kde. But I don't figure where.
Are there some other tests I can do ?
