It isn't an user friendly. I've made some JACK applications and always get mails from the users that my app does not work because aRts blocks the dsp device all the time. Do you understand where's the problem? Can you imagine the same problem on Windows? "Dear user - if you want to use our product - go to control panel and disable the windows system audio. Then run our application. If you finish, go to control panel and enable the audio option again." :)))) -- jozef kosoru [zyzstar] _______________________________________________ kde-multimedia mailing list kde-multimedia@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-multimedia
