I've just committed some enhancements that were planned for the KDE 2.2 release: -a new artsd -s option that allows setting the auto-suspend time - "artsshell status" now displays all of the server audio parameters - new artsshell autosuspend option to change auto-suspend time - new artsd -m option that passes reporting of sound server errors to an external program - new artsmessage program which displays artsd errors using a KDE dialog - KDE sound control panel now allows setting the auto-suspend timeout and the message display program. The artsmessage command is enabled by default.
