Why should it be? ALynx has about the same graphics and sound setup as
AMosaic, and no more support for doing so. Given the problems people
have had with AMosaic, no one should be surprised that someone
would have problems with ALynx.

Or maybe you haven't investigated ALynx, and don't realize that the
only things it can't do that AMosaic can are related to inline display
(changing fonts, inline images), and that just like AMosaic, it can
invoke external programs to play sounds and display images? Further,
unlike Mosaic and most other GUI browsers, it can invoke external
programs to display images that expect to be imbedded inline, so you
can see them on a screen type that's appropriate to the image, as
opposed to the one you selected to run your browser on.

The best way to set up ALynx for graphics and sound is to grab a copy
of env:mosaic/mime.types and env:mosaic/mailcap from someone who has
either ALynx or AMosaic working properly, along with any programs
associated with the mailcap. If you are using a 3.x system and
datatype players, you'll need to get the appropriate datatypes as
well.
