Infact I just discovered that it's not just with xmms-arts. You enable any plugin and xmms gives the same error message. I just enabled xmms-osd and get the same message that the audio device couldn't be found.
Ritesh I just thought this information might give some more help in sorting out the bug. I too was facing the same problem for months but didn't bother to look much deeper because we do have competitive alternatives to xmms now. I prefer xmms upon others for one primary reason, the xmms-volnorm plugin. I hope the other users also use this killer plugin. If you disable this plugin and then use the combination of xmms + artsd, it works absolutely fine. So the problem should be somewhere in the combination of xmms + xmms-volnorm + xmms-arts HTH, rrs -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT -- http://www.researchut.com "Stealing logics from one person is plagiarism, stealing from many is research."
