I have the same system (64 bit multiarch) and it runs with vm-sound-pulse.
However, I changed to alsa and released it.

Thanks for reporting.

It seems so.vm-sound-pulse isn't in Arch's squeak-vm package, at least not on 64 bit.

I was able to get s4a to run by altering the command in /usr/bin/s4a to:

/usr/bin/s4a_squeak_vm \
-plugins /usr/share/s4a/Plugins \
-vm-sound-alsa \
/usr/share/s4a/S4A.image "${@}"

(basically, using alsa instead of pulse).

Thanks. I tried the new build, and made sure I had all the dependencies installed.

now I get:

could not find module vm-sound-pulse
Aborted (core dumped)

I'm running 64-bit with multiarch enabled, if that matters. I think I remember reading that s4a was 32-bit only.

lykwydchykyn:

Thanks for noticing about the wrong url, it's solved in the new release.

About the other problem, try to execute by hand what is in the script /usr/bin/s4a. If you cannot run it let me know, but I can run it with no problem.

- The URL is no longer responding. The updated URL should be http://s4a.cat/downloads/S4A15.deb.

- After installing, I get this error trying to run it:

/usr/bin/s4a: line 6: /usr/bin/s4a_squeak_vm: No such file or directory

Oddly enough, /usr/bin/s4a_squeak_vm exists and is executable, so I don't understand the error.
