#if Christian Esken > Using noautun for every small clip of music is like using kword to view a > Makefile. noatun uses a plugin mechanism, so if it's asked to embed itself and play an mp3, surely it only needs to load two plugins, the kparts interface and the ID3 tag loader. It doesn't do any decoding or playback itself, that's all handled by aRts. So memory usage should be tiny and startup time should be short. Did I miss something ? (apart from the fact that there is no kparts UI for noatun and IIRC Charles says he doesn't want one) Rik
