Same here, never have any sound anymore. (Also, I can't launch the game online and created a launcher thread on that.) I do not have an assets or a sounds folder in my freshly downloaded Minecraft folder. Is that normal? This problem occurs in any version of Minecraft that I play. Currently 1.6.4 and the snapshot 13w43 snapshot.

I had this issue for the first time with a different hosting company. They say the same thing: the player must already have been on the server once in order for the admin to be able to whitelist them.
It's not true though. I had trouble whitelisting a brand new player, but I also had trouble whitelisting an existing player whom I'd removed just to see if I could whitelist him again (poor guineapig).
The host says it's a common problem and recommended removing the whitelist.json file and rebuilding it from scratch. That got 25 percent of the players off the whitelist: I couldn't add them back ingame or from the console.
However, I waited for 6 hours and tried again, and hey presto I was suddenly able to add all of them ingame!
So I'd say this is somehow an issue to do with the (connection with the) nameservers

This just happened to me today with the 1.6 pre-release. I have Mac OSX 10.8.4. So I guess this hasn't been fixed yet?
Same here, never have any sound anymore. (Also, I can't launch the game online and created a launcher thread on that.) I do not have an assets or a sounds folder in my freshly downloaded Minecraft folder. Is that normal? This problem occurs in any version of Minecraft that I play.

Razinao's suggestion to remove the Xerces file from user/library/java has done the trick! Everything's back to normal and 1.7.2 is working fine.
I had this issue for the first time with a different hosting company. They say the same thing: the player must already have been on the server once in order for the admin to be able to whitelist them.
It's not true though. I had trouble whitelisting a brand new player, but I also had trouble whitelisting an existing player whom I'd removed just to see if I could whitelist him again (poor guineapig).
The host says it's a common problem and recommended removing the whitelist.json file and rebuilding it from scratch. That got 25 percent of the players off the whitelist: I couldn't add them back ingame or from the console.
