Hmm, can't comment personally, as I don't ever install KDE.
But I have heard many 'no sound' problems or 'weird behavior' problems
to which 'disable arts' was the solution. I've never had this problem
but it does worry me that urpmi installs arts along with many other
audio packages as a dependency, even if you're not using it. Without
KDE control center how can one completely disable it?
As cool as it may be, jack looks like it will become the top unix sound
interface, as it's extremely versatile and designed for low-latency.
Also, I was just repeating the comments I received, true or false.
