Does anyone know why audio previews in Nautilus don’t work for me? They work for Jono and we’re both running Ubuntu Dapper. I remember him showing me some Ubuntu features way back around the time of the Warty stable and Hoary development versions whereby if you mouse-over an audio file in Nautilus, you get an audio preview, right there in Nautilus.

I run a pretty much stock Ubuntu configuration and don’t mess with audio and Nautilus preview settings, but still, I’ve never had this feature work for me and seeing Jono’s machine a few times recently reminded me of this fact. Bastard 😉

As per default, my preview configuration plays audio previews for local files. Does anyone know of any other issues that might be responsible?

Anyway, I can’t complain too much about Jono as he took 2 hours out of his day to teach me about GStreamer so I can help out with Jokosher and he also rescued my Everybody Loves Eric Raymond t-shirt which I left at LUG Radio Live.
