It works very well. The wrap all your apps that require OSS in the arts wrapper; artsdsp. What artsdsp does is takes OSS calls and runs them seamlessly through artsd... Very elegant. For instance, if you want to run mpg123 to listen to a couple of *.mp3's... jst do; artsdsp mpg123 -Z some.mp3's and mpg123 will play it's audio via the artsd daemon. -- _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
