I just went back and found that this (gory) flash was working great too. only difference between now and last time is a switch from 2.6.3-gentoo-r1 to 2.6.3-mm2 ... very strange.

I have a fairly decent system at work, but it has a soundcard that can only handle a single open. If esd, or artsd is running, flash performs poorly. If I shut down anything using sound, its fine. At home I have a sound card that handles multiple opens. It never has this problem. See if /dev/dsp is busy when you're trying to use flash, then free it up and try again.

See if that helps. k, i guess i'm still very much in the dark on the topic of audio in linux, but can someone explain to me what i'm missing in the following logic? i have a soundblaster live value card which (as far as i know) is very much capable of mixing multiple channels of audio. does this mean that i should have multiple copies of /dev/dsp? (ie. dsp1 dsp2 etc.) and do i need arts then? if i don't, how do i disable it forever in kde? all i want is to be able to play video/mp3 files and play flash movies with reasonable performance kde, but even on this sweet athlon 2500 w/ 512mb ram, i've not been able to get that. please tell me i'm missing something. -- a man who feels the winds of change should build not a windbreak, but a windmill. - mao tse tung -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The kde control panel has arts settings IIRC. I dont really use kde on a regular basis. all i want is to be able to play video/mp3 files and play flash movies with reasonable performance kde, but even on this sweet athlon 2500 w/ 512mb ram, i've not been able to get that. please tell me i'm missing something. Well, I have similar hardware, and have no issues with it. What kernel are you running? I'm using 2.6.3 with alsa drivers. Does doing any single one of these tasks work? IE: Can you play mp3's fine? When does everything get slow? If you think its kde related, try a simpler window manager and see how things work there. -- Mental ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum.

If you think its kde related, try a > simpler window manager and see how things work there. i can play mp3s, videos and tv (all-in-wonder radeon @home) and i can even play them all at the same time without issue. playing flash however gibbles my mp3s (can't test video & tv 'cause i'm @work). the audio sort of "chunks" while my cpu load runs at about an average of 50% varying more with the movement on the screen than any sound events. note that this happens with noatun and juk, as xmms somehow causes arts to explode at random. i've used mozilla under windowmaker on my machine @home in the past and the flash worked flawlessly, which led me to believe that the issue was arts. but that doesn't help me since i can't figure out how to make it die and never come back and still have sound in flash. ie. i've just now disabled the sound mixer in the kde control panel, and while xmms works great (no skips, even when playing that flash game), i also have no sound in the flash game, or any sound events. i'm restricted to xmms & mplayer. i think i hate arts -- i have never seen a situation so dismal that a policeman couldn't make it worse. - brendan behan (1923-1964) irish dramatist, author -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I have posted a patch for kdelibs-3.2.0 into Gentoo Bugzilla, which adds use of "arts" USE flag, as the configure script for kdelibs supports "--without-arts" option, but the official ebuild does not: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40295 As this is the only core kde ebuild I am using, I did not bother to patch other ebuilds.
