I posted this in Bugs because I'm not sure where else it can go. Anyway,
I was downloading Kdenlive 0.8.3 from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=75598 to install onto my desktop, since it is also on my laptop and I really liked it. After downloading, I open up ROX, navigate to my downloads folder, and click on the package to install. The confirmation appears and i grant it permission to install.
Ten minutes later, nothing seems to be happening (my computer is not that slow, so installs this long are unusual). I figure I must've accidentally clicked cancel on the confirmation, so I repeat the process above, attempting to reinstall it.
Ten MORE minutes, nothing is going on. I decide to check the PPM for a (possibly) better supported version of Kdenlive. I find version 0.9.2 in the Slackware 14.0 repositories, and click on it to download. I hit the "examine dependencies" button. This is where it starts to get weird.
As it examines dependencies (it found 33, by the way), a message box pops up saying Kdenlive 0.8.3 installed! Then another one! Then a dialog asks me if I want to download the dependencies. At this time, I look away from the screen to check my phone. Next thing I know, my computer is blasting what sounds like a guitar solo from a rock song (and I'm talking ear-splitting volume here )! Thanks to me and my easily-frightened personality, I switch off my computer before getting a chance to look at the screen to see if a message or some evil face or something was being displayed . I know this was coming from my computer and not my phone because as soon as I turned off the power switch my computer was plugged into, the music stopped.
Did I get some sort of online attack (even though I enabled Puppy's firewall), did I get a virus, or maybe did I activate some sort of easter egg accidentally? Or worse, is my computer... haunted???
Thanks ahead of time [/i][/url]

/usr/local/bin/defaultaudioplayer is probably the file
