Hi,

on my comp when artsd is started, it takes up around 80% of processing, even
when I'm not running noatun. when I play mp3s off the harddisk, sound is
_very_ choppy. sound's ok using xmms on OSS drivers directly.
I'm an end-user on kde 2.1.2 (sorry no CVS), so just curious if this has
been fixed..I'm using the sis7018 chip built into a sis630 motherboard, so
maybe it's the drivers..?

cheers

Subject: desktop entries for non-kde sound applications


Hi,

since I never had any luck with kaboodle or noatun, I configured xmms as
player for audio/x-mpegurl etc. in konqueror file type settings. Since days
(weeks?), I had difficulties because xmms (or realplayer) apperently can't
open the sound device because it's used by artsd. So, these application hang
around and block until artsd gives back the device.

A simple fix was to prefix the Exec entry in xmms.desktop,
realplayer.desktop
and xmms-enqueue.desktop with 'artsdsp '.

Now everything works fine and I can view real video with realplayer while
listening to mp3.com with xmms and my notification sounds play inbetween.

Since artsdsp is part of kdelibs, shouldn't this be standard for these
desktop entries ?

Greetings, Till
