It's fantastic that artsd and the media player work under Solaris for the 
first time with KDE 2.2.

It's inevitable, I suppose that there will be some teething problems.  Has 
anyone else experienced the same symptoms

1. Artsd uses CPU even when it should be idle, ie no sound being played.      
    This can be anything from 40-75% of the total.

2.  There is a very long delay on initiating play of a WAV or mp3 file --     
     several seconds, and response to the media player controls is
     very sluggish.

This is on an Ultra 1/170 with 128MB of memory running Solaris 8 (MU 3).

Dear Rune,

I hope you get this before you arrive.  I think it's best if you arrive at 
the department on Monday morning, and ask for me at reception.

The best way to get there from crescent road is to walk down to Cowley Road 
and catch a bus into town.  Get off at the Queen's Lane stop from where you 
can walk to the department..  You will find some directions on our website 
http://www.earth.ox.ac.uk/

You may also want to take this bus the opposite way on Sunday.  You have to 
walk from the bus station where the coach arrives to "Carfax", where you can 
catch a number 1 bus, which will be marked to a destination called "Blackbird 
Leys".  ("Carfax" is  an old saxon tower with a large clock and an easy 
landmark to find..)  You should get off at the junction of Marsh Road and 
Cowley Road, walk up Marsh road which joins up with Crescent Road.

I advise you to buy a street map (from most Newspaper shops), but you can 
probably print one out from www.streetmap.co.uk.

Please don't hesitate to phone me if you need any help getting around or for 
any other reason.  My home phone number is 01865 726228 and my mobile number 
is 07773 074233.  

I look forward to meeting you very soon.
