thx, Austin For what it's worth, there seems to be a problem with ao and aRts (detailed in another thread), which causes crashes after a certain number of plays (even if you're outputting through, say, esd). A stopgap solution seems to be to rm /usr/lib/libao2/libarts.*, though this will disable aRts output. -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take due notice and govern yourselves accordingly.
