ARTSd is dead is KDE SC 4. KDE SC 4 does include Phonon, a common API or A/V manipulations, but it does not have a daemon component. Phonon will simply talk to PulseAudio, JACK, ALSA, or OSS--however you configure it. I'm not entirely sure what the defaults are, but it is designed to cleanly fallback when (e.g.) PulseAudio is missing, even if it was present last time you started KDE SC 4. I hear Kate is also even more awesome in KDE SC 4 than it was in KDE 3. I don't use it though. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
