OK, I've applied the gsnd 1.9 -> 1.10 patch and rebuilt gnustep-gui.
Using the portaudio v19 released with SuSE 9.3.

The GWorkspace Contents inspector now plays sounds just fine and the
sound server doesn't go into a loop.

However, I notice one small oddity: the first time I play the sound it
creates a file in my home directory called alsaout.raw (size: 0
bytes). So long as I leave that file in place, GWorkspace can continue
to play sounds. But if I delete it, sounds will no longer play. If I
quit and restart GWorkspace then we're back to the beginning - playing
the sound works and creates another alsaout.raw.

Also tried GNUMail - although I set this up to play a sound on
receiving mail, it didn't. Further investigation needed.
