Just a thought, as I never recorded through arts, have you enabled full duplex operation in the kde control center->sound->sound server->sound I/O tab? I think you need to do this to play and record at the same time in arts. I'm assuming that your "artsdsp rec output.wav"command was run while you where playing something using real player.
Try something simple first, like recording a CD track. Click the red LED under the CD slider in kmix, play a CD using kscd (or whatever), then try "artsdsp rec output.wav". What do you get? (I've also never used rec, so I don't know if your syntax is correct. krecord is your friend :) Note that if you have set arts to full duplex mode, it will never release /dev/dsp so you will *have* to use arts for all sound I/O. If you turn off full duplex and wait for arts to disconnect (60secs by default?) the you can try the same as above but just use "rec output.wav". Now what do you get? Don't miss-spell and cause a konsole beep, since arts will reconnect for the beep and you'll have to wait 60secs again. Nick. D. R.
