APPLICATION LEVEL : play, esdplay, sox, &c. SOUND DAEMON LEVEL (*d): esd, artsd, nsd -- optional but very nice. DRIVER LEVEL (modules): OSS or ALSA, /dev/sound/ entries HARDWARE LEVEL (cards): whatever-sound-chip-you've-got basically, some sound-related applications try to access the driver level directly, which the daemon typically blocks them from doing. soundwrapper is a script that intercepts that access and reformats it to go through the daemon. You can test it from a terminal by typing soundwrapper audacity, and if it works you can change your menu shortcut with menudrake (run as root). > > If a program is really obstinate and you use artsd, try artsdsp -m > > program (this works real well for games). This is when the program expects certain hardware features -- the -m tells artsd to emulate those features. > > I'm sure I don't just type artsd, or artsdsp -m at the bash prompt right?

I'm also a big fan of treeps, but I think it needs to be compiled from source. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
