<IMHO> I'd vote against aRts too. I always have it disabled... May be arts has a great support for mixing effects etc etc, but *all* I need is just to hear sounds and nothing more! And basic sound playing with aRts is just terrible -- it skips here and there and everywhere *even* if I give aRts the realtime priority. Hope that, as Arnold said, kde4 will get rid of aRts. As about Noatun, it looks pretty well and promising, but I wasn't able to get my cyrrillic titles of songs to display correctly in it (may be I have my /dev/hands broken ;) ). So I'll stay with good old xmms for now. </IMHO> Regards, Dmitry. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
