I went to the link given earlier (sorry, can't remember who gave it to me) http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4543140457.html and started to follow the instructions.
The key to the whole thing is to get a kickarts applet onto the kicker. Once that is done you can stop and restart aRts at will. With aRts disabled, Audacity runs. So far I have only tried it on a burst of speech from the radio, but the resulting sound was quite good. The bad news is that neither Jackstart nor ardour will run on the stock 9.1 kernel. Attempting to run ardour caused a spontaneous reboot. Shoudl ardour become necessary (and at this point I don't even know what it is) I will have to boot to the MM kernel, which is as bad as having to boot to windows. Still, it looks as though after my holiday/vacation I can start working on this. Thanks to all that have helped. And yes, I will write a TWiki entry <g> Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
