 You are probably one of the rarest of rare persons who *still* think that aRts
 is lovely :)


The reason is I want my messenger (kopete) to buzz when a user goes
online/offline/calls me while I'm listening to music or am watching a
movie.
Since I'm a KDE user, arts is the best there.

Disable aRts, install alsaplayer and use it to play kopete sounds. No need of 
aRts and you get a low latency player which is supposed to interact better 
with ALSA.

Filetypes in Linux aren't dependent on extensions.
To me it looks you use KDE. In KDE control center, you can change the
behavior in the FIle Assocations section.

 It has been a long time since I posted this link but here goes:

 http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - do read this
 *before* posting the questions.

 Multimedia is still a black art in linux - take for example audio ..
 which one to use- esd ? osd ? oss ? arts ? (did I miss a few ?) As
 someone who figured out how to use the mplayer just last year, I think
 the question is quite relevant and the ESR howto does not answer his
 query in any way. http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2005/9/25/104320/439



esd, oss, arts are all sound daemons. (I don't know if osd is a sound
daemon). For example arts is lovely if you make all applications use
arts as the sound daemon and then you get the same features of Windows
into LInux Desktop.

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - do read this
*before* posting the questions.

Depends on which video file type you intend to play, please explore the
options of mplayer, xine and the like. Whether you would require Windows
codecs is another question this list would anticipate.

Grip and Kmid might not be the applications you would like to choose.

Without really intending to begin a troll here, please do understand the
following:

o Monster has had a recent previous history of bad posting
o Monster has had a recent history of providing incomplete information
o Monster in the mail in question has not really mentioned what exactly
is the UseCase he is planning to do

You are right - I did not provide the poster any response (save pointing
 towards how to ask proper questions). I saw your link later - good one.

And ahem - at the risk of unleashing a thread that might get Raju's goat
- - *multimedia is not a black art* (unless of course you are still on 2.2
kernels)
