I'm aware of the current behavior. For normal use, one actually just doesn't get sound from KDE all that often. I'm just trying to say this isn't as bad in practice as it may be in theory. > I'd say that if user modified menu entry, he's > clever enough to > know how to change output plugin from xmms > preferences dialog. Granted. I don't see how that's not beside the point, but I could be missing something. > Does it map well to the menu system?

Unfortunately I can't test that, because just as xmms-arts doesn't work on my system, soundwrapper (aka artsdsp) xmms doesn't work either. Which is another concern, we have no idea why it works for some people and not others, and I think the behavior you listed at the top of the message is way less evil than xmms doesn't work, ever, at all, no matter what, because it freezes when you try to play anything with it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
