Apparently not. I started artsd with debug options and when I try to play with artsplay I just get static noise. Here is artsd output (not sure if it will help): [artsd: 23458] SoundServerStartup <-- released lock UnixManager: got notifyIO socketconnection created, fd = 11 search playobject, extension = ogg creating xineAudioPlayObject to play file /usr/local/share/sounds/KDE_Warp.ogg job finished UnixManager: got notifyIO socketconnection created, fd = 11 search playobject, extension = ogg creating xineAudioPlayObject to play file /usr/local/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/battery-low.ogg job finished Each of these just produced noise. However, when I play a .wav file, I get a different output from artsd: UnixManager: got notifyIO socketconnection created, fd = 11 search playobject, extension = wav creating Arts::audiofilePlayObject to play file /usr/local/share/sounds/KDE_Window_Close.wav loading wav: /usr/local/share/sounds/KDE_Window_Close.wav frame size: 4 channels: 2 bits: 16 job finished
