I don't see how you need anything else.
All I know is that if I enable ALSA in KDE directly (integrated I810 sound), sooner or later something can't play. If I use arts, everything plays nice. I don't find it to be using that much of my cpu, but perhaps that's because I don't use the computer to play sound in the background - if it's doing audio or video (except for system notifications), I'm highly unlikely to be doing anything else. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
